Gorgoneion is nothing but an amulet with the head of Gorgon

The Gorgoneion in terms of her head was not to evoke fear. In fact the Roman legions -who adopted Greek mythology-used her image as a source of good luck in battle. They also wore her image on necklaces. The greek word Medousos-means to avert bad luck.
