The Gorgon's Head
The Gorgon's Head is a story from part of A WONDER-BOOK FOR GIRLS AND BOYS written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer.
The author has long been of opinion that many of the classical myths were capable of being rendered into very capital reading for children. In the little volume here offered to the public, he has worked up half a dozen of them, with this end in view. A great freedom of treatment was necessary to his plan; but it will be observed by every one who attempts to render these legends malleable in his intellectual furnace, that they are marvellously independent of all temporary modes and circumstances. They remain essentially the same, after changes that would affect the identity of almost anything else.
