Cixous' Medusa and the Myth

Cixous endows the Medusa with a voice
men have "rivited us between two horrifying myths: between the Medusa and the abyss."
men made us believe that it was "too dark to be explorable...and we believed."
"they haven't changed a thing: they've theorized their desire for reality."
men created the myth: "You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she's not deadly. She's beautiful and she's laughing.".
