In Greek myth, Perseus used the severed snake-haired head of the Gorgon Medusa as a shield with which to turn his enemies to stone. By the sixteenth century Medusa was said to symbolize the triumph of reason over the senses; and this may have been why Cardinal Del Monte commissioned Caravaggio to paint Medusa as the figure on a ceremonial shield presented in 1601 to Ferdinand I de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The poet Marino claimed that it symbolized the Duke’s courage in defeating his enemies.

O Lion and Serpent!
”The Leonocephalic God appears in many ancient civilizations - as Zurvan (according to a web search), as Ahriman, and Mithra too and perhaps even as a form applicable in Thelema to Baphomet. - The symbol of the lion and the coiled serpent have a universal perhaps archetypal significance - it reminds me always of the Kundalini Serpent and the Will” by *buechnerstod
