Gorgon,
in Greek Mythology, were the three monstrous daughters
of the sea god Phorcys and his wife, Ceto. The Gorgon
were terrifying, dragonlike creatures, covered with
golden scales and having snakes for hair. They had
huge wings and round, ugly faces; their tongues
were always hanging out, and they had large, tusklike
teeth. They lived on the farthest side of the western
ocean, shunned because their glance turned persons
to stone. read

The
Lion, The Bull & Zeus
|
|
|
The
featured side of the beautifully detailed coin depicts
a lion attacking a bull. The lion represents the power
of the Greek Empire at that time. In the Greek religion,
Zeus was considered the father of the gods and of
mortals. He did not create either gods or mortals,
but was their father in the sense of being the protector
and ruler of both. He was lord of the sky, the rain
god, and the cloud gatherer, who wielded the terrible
thunderbolt. read
