Medusa is a Greek mythical creature, first beautiful and then monstrous. Together with Steno (her strong one) and Euriale (the one who leaps far) she was one of the three Gorgons, daughters of Forco and her sister Ceto, two hideous sea monsters, and the only one not to be immortal. According to the myth, Poseidon falls in love with Medusa and, transformed into a sea eagle, kidnaps her, taking her to a temple consecrated to Athena where he seduces her. Medusa, who possessed splendid hair, hides, out of vanity, her face behind her an aegis of the Goddess.
The punishment that Athena inflicts on her is harsh: Her beautiful hair is changed into a tangle of poisonous vipers and her teeth are changed into fangs. Medusa is transformed into a hideous monster whose gaze petrifies every living creature.
Versace's fashion "petrifies", as Gianni himself stated, and it is no coincidence that the symbol of the company is the Medusa, the figure of Greek mythology that had the power to petrify anyone who looked at it.
