Itās apparently from a play by Euripedes, called āHeraclesā. Written in 416 BCE and indeed referring to Medusa or one of her sisters, all of whom are Gorgons. Exactly WHY Teena is reading such an obscure piece is unclearā¦.
Jerri is the āairhead blondā while her sister Teena, and her friend Stick are the atypical extremely smart honor students. Stick will probably grow up into a gorgeous woman, as will Teena, and both will continuously have to live down there childhood names, have great careers as assistant department heads of some research organization, have children like Jerri - good looking but lacking the brains of a flea, be married to boozing bozos who abuse them in some way (and each of them ācheatā on the girls with Jerri.)
Any āugly ducklingāsā who turned into āthe girl next door beautiesā in their late teens/early twenties whose life doesnāt follow this scenario are both extremely lucky and very fortunate, and my elderly hate is off to you.
No one need comment about my being a ābitterā female. Iām 6ā6ā and male, very hetero, and have experience in various nursing specialties, Emergency Care being one, immunology (see āFor Better or Worseā) for another, and burn research for a third. But I have seen what I described happen on one too many occasions. May those, beauties of not, find peace sometime and somewhere before itās too late on this side of the veil.
