With her repulsive face and head full of living, venomous snakes, Medusa is petrifying--quite literally, since looking directly at her turned people to stone.

She has been immortalized by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dali and was the emblem of the Jacobins after the French Revolution....

"God made Heaven, and then, after measuring the space underneath with a ball of thread, he began to form the earth.

God sent the bee to look for him; he wanted the mole's advice on what to do about the mistake. The bee found the mole and he just laughed at the idea of advising God. The bee, however, hid in a flower and overheard the...
