The Petralona Skull (Σπήλαιο Πετραλώνων).

The skull was found sticking to a cave wall located in the village of Petralona, about 35 km south-east of Thessaloniki city.

It was discovered about 30 cm above ground, and held by sinter. The lower jaw was missing and it was "encrusted by brown calcite soon after the death of the individual."

Initially, the cave was discovered accidentally in 1959 by local shepherd, Fillipos Chatzaridis. Later the same year it was examined by Greek speleologist Ioannis Petrocheilos. By 1968, excavations were carried out by the anthropologist Aris Poulianos.

Poulianos later (1981) dated the skull to be at least 700,000 years old.

ΜΑΚΡΙΑ ΟΛΑ ΤΑ ΚΑΚΑ!

Το κομμένο κεφάλι της Μέδουσας κοιτάζει από το κυρτό πρόσωπο μιας διπλής ανάγλυφης τεχνικής.

Ο ψυχολογικός του ρεαλισμός, ταυτόχρονα όμορφος και αποκρουστικός, αποκαλύπτει τα συγκρουόμενα αλλά συμβιωτικά συναισθήματα έλξης και απώθησης.

Αυτός ο συνδυασμός εκφράζει τη δύναμη των αρχαίων ελληνικών αποτροπαϊκών αντικειμένων, γοητείας που απέτρεπαν το κακό.

Από τότε που η θέα του προσώπου της Μέδουσας - μεταμορφώθηκε από τη θεά Αθηνά σε τέρας με φίδια για μαλλιά - είχε μετατρέψει τους ανθρώπους σε πέτρα, έγινε ένα παραδοσιακό αποτροπαϊκό σύμβολο.

Η Αθηνά τοποθέτησε το τερατώδες κεφάλι της Μέδουσας στην ασπίδα της, και οι άνθρωποι πολεμιστές ακολούθησαν το ίδιο.

Ο γλύπτης Vincenzo Gemito έβγαλε τη σύνθεσή του από το διάσημο αντίκα cameo, το Tazza Farnese, αλλά το μετέτρεψε σε ένα εντελώς νέο είδος γλυπτικού αντικειμένου.

Αναβίωσε τις Αναγεννησιακές τεχνικές του λιωμένου κεριού για να το κάνει ανάγλυφο.

Παρόλο που συγκεντρώθηκε στο πρόσωπο της διπλής γυαλιστερής μεταλλικής ανάγλυφης όψης,
έκανε υφή στην πλάτη με δέρμα φιδιού.

Μέδουσα του Vincenzo Gemito (Ιταλικά, 1852 - 1929).
