Glorious tease.

I was 'reading' along then suddenly it ended with cats.

I was like, ... what?..., I got over it.

So after about 4 minutes of intense deep dive googling, I may have come up with an explanation for snake breasts. Athena being a powerful Goddess back in the day, was ticked off at men for being unable to make eyeball to eyeball contact with women. So she picked on someone she was already pissed off at, Medusa the gorgon, and gave her the strangest makeover. Henceforth when men gazed or shall we say glazed over staring at Medusa’s ah snakes, they turned to stone. OOPS, won’t do that again. Unfortunately all the ancient scribes were men and they changed the narrative of history to something more appropriate as they saw things. The patriarchs were still in the driver's seat of history, even back in ancient Greek mythos days.

I'm guess dudes are lucky they don't have to haul all this stuff around, so we should be happy with what we got.
