Perseus Never Died Either...

The 'Suda' is a 10th century Byzantine fraud. It has nothing to do with ancient - original - ideas and narratives about various figures of mythology or deep antiquity.

The Suda records various stories about Perseus being some actual 'king' or other and founding the city that Paul the Apostle went to (Ikonium, because it has an icon of the Medusa there that Perseus slew) - but these are ludicrously later fairy tales designed to undermine the actual ancient narrative that Perseus was from a Divine Father and a mortal woman.

Medusa is regarded today as an awful creature, and 'evil' - but she is not that. She was overcome with grief that her children were being killed by Poseidon who continually raped her within the Temple of Athena.

High on a mountain...

Athena therefore, turned her into an object both beautiful and at the same time deadly - so that even the Mighty Poseidon was unable to approach her.

Perseus, being a god himself, was able to terminate the Earthly life of Medusa - and so also, end her own suffering.

Dreams of snakes are widely misinterpreted by popular explanations.

'Snakes' in the spiritual sense, are the visceral effects of feelings of injustice - and be these small or large, they offend the Gods, and a good person will feel such things inside their stomach.

These spiritual snakes also possess venom, with which they can either strike out against an adversary, or if the adversary is not available to them, they will in fact envenomate their own human or semi-human (part-Divine) carrying body.

Again, the head of Medusa had supernaturally living serpents on it, that, even were a certain head of one of them to be cut off, it would grow back again two-fold. So, even though thinking and using logic were albeit capable of delaying the poisonous effects, they could not actually defeat the problem and only served to make matters worse by effecting a sleeplessness in the person who had the unresolved injustice held within them.

Or flying in the air.

Only a God can solve the matter.

Which is why there is this dynamic force inside humans - when they are soundly-footed. An unsound or actually evil person, has no sense of the feelings that injustice must bring to a sane person...

So hence there is a concept about the serpent force arising within someone, and going up into the clouds and meeting the Immortal Dakinis - and these must be struck with the fangs of the snakes. or serpents, and they understand the problem then, and transmute the poison into 'medicinal magic' (pharmakeia) whereupon only then, can the person have rest and sleep.

And the matter of the Injustice, becomes turned over to the Gods, who devise the appropriate solution.

Perseus never died.

Today, to begin to deal with 'dreams' (these are in fact Divine Visions) of snakes or serpents (these are always the ones that come from the stomach), one must employ the golden Persian medicine - saffron.

If you wish to encounter the supernatural dragon spirit serpent Ladon (he is dead now; not living on the Earth materially as such), who guards an impressive Treasure (literally is a material one), then you add oranges and kumquats.

To appease the most dangerous
children of the early Gods on Earth,
young maidens offered frothy wine
mixed with Poppy Mallow flowers
rather than what some people
think 'Poppies.' There's plenty of
Poppy Mallows in America.

Hercules killed Ladon. Hercules was the son of Zeus and the most beautiful semi-human woman - Alcmene - whose great-grandfather was Perseus.

Dakinis always are linked with flowers, because flowers aspire to see the Sun...
