"An earlier version of this story mistakenly stated that Zeus raped Medusa. It was Poseidon, not Zeus. Zeus was the father of Perseus, and according to myth raped Leda, Persephone, Europa, and Antipode, but not Medusa."
Oh.. Ok then...
Beyond the social statement it makes the statue itself is stunning. If I were the sort to fill a formal garden with statures and could afford $35,000 for a bronze one, I would. The expression on her face is powerful.
