I’ll make you a trade, your beauty for stone, your sea-beloved tresses for venom-filled snakes, your innocent doe eyes for frigid gaze.

The sea is in the habit of ravishing what does not belong to him, taking without consideration.

But, sweet girl, I promise you, I will not allow this to be your ruin. You are sacred, one of my own.

And no cruel chaos will devour you again, choose terror over maiden, relinquish your human.

And I will turn you into a Goddess in your own right, a deity of monsters, a myth that will scare men for all the years and their seasons.

Medusa is the Greek goddess of power and protection for survivors and marginalized groups, especially gender minorities. She is also a powerful sea deity and the goddess of transformation, snakes and menstruation. She is a symbol of feminine power and the protector of people who are considered “monsters” by society.

Name at least ten local plants. - Of those ten plants, which are indigenous to your area and which were imported? When were they imported and by whom? - What trees are most commonly found in your neighborhood? Again, which are indigenous and which were deliberately introduced?

INVITO ALL’OMBRA

(Giovan Battista Marino)

     Or che l’aria e la terra arde e fiammeggia,

né s’ode euro che soffi, aura che spiri,

ed emulo del ciel, dovunque io miri,

saettato dal sole, il mar lampeggia;

     qui dove alta in sul lido elce verdeggia,

le braccia aprendo in spaziosi giri,

e del suo crin ne’ liquidi zaffiri

gli smeraldi vaghissimi vagheggia;

     qui, qui, Lilla, ricovra, ove l’arena

fresca in ogni stagion copre e circonda

folta di verdi rami ombrosa scena.

     Godrai qui meco in un l’acque e la sponda;

vedrai scherzar su per la riva amena
