“Medusa With The Head of Perseus” will be installed Monday and unveiled the following day in a park across from Manhattan Supreme Court, according to the group behind the statue.
“The place chosen is not accidental, since there they judge cases for crimes related to violence against women,” Sculptor Luciano Garbati wrote on Instagram.
The 1,000-pound bronze sculpture is a reimagined version of Medusa, a figure of ancient Greek mythology who was raped by one of the most powerful gods, Poseidon.
But instead of Poseidon being punished, Medusa was blamed and transformed into a monstrous beast with snakes for hair, as well as a gaze that could turn men into stone.
She was exiled and later hunted down by Perseus, who then displayed her head on his shield as a trophy.
The new effigy, however, gives Medusa a different ending, depicting her as empowered as she holds Perseus’ severed head in defiance.

Disgusting pagan image. Someone needs to tear it down.
I am offended and want it out. Can I get a crowd together and go burn down the town? Oh, do some looting on the side. Free chit for all.
Its only metoo when liberals are affected doesn't apply to conservative women assaulted by liberal men.
The idiot in the picture looks like he has really done something constructive
Why is she nude is the question that needs asking.
She needs to be wearing some panties.
gee.. i was going to go home and beat my wife tonight, but then I saw this statue and now I'm not...
Seriously, what are they thinking? Why cant the left come up with something new? This is just as lame as those lame attempts at making Christian heavy metal- the shirts that said "MegaLIFE" instead of Megadeth.....
Oh, I know- but the Devil cannot create anything new. God, His Angels and humans have the power to create. The only thing evil can do is copy, mimic, make fun of, and twist. It's not even a good statue.
Perseus killed her, not the other way around. And by the way.. what a dumb name..#me too...= Pound me too. Seems almost like they are advocating for violence... they could have come up with better hashtag... and for all you whose heads are exploding about my comments, I'm a woman.
Is that jake day ?
Holy Condom Batman,
if Bill Clinton sees her
he will sleep with her...
And this nude anatomically correct statue is ok for family viewing? 2 sets of rules.
That is stupid.
The boobs and crotch will get touched and polished every day!
What Artist owens a truck like that?
More promoting pedo ideas. It’s child abuse for children to have to see this.
That guy is so proud and openly supports Biden in Facebook. Hypocrisy is so funny to me. Liberals are always wanting to be noticed and are so unhappy.

Me too is almost like "What she said" or "I'm with her"
In other words it makes it sound like the person has no independent thought.
shouldnt it have a penis to be a me too
Known for her snakes and eyes not particularly detailed crotch. The “ artist” can’t see the irony in this.
Apparently hard wood floors were also prevalent centuries ago...
Until Americans unite and violently drive liberals out of America it’ll only get worse
NYC - keepin it classy
