  • The Gaze of the Gorgon is a film-poem created in 1992 by English poet and playwright Tony Harrison which examines the politics of conflict in the 20th century using the Gorgon and her petrifying gaze as a metaphor for the actions of the elites during wars and other crises and the muted response and apathy these traumatic events generate among the masses seemingly petrified by modern Gorgons gazing at them from pediments constructed by the elites. The verse-documentary is aimed at describing the "unspeakable horrors and atrocities of the twentieth century" through the Medusa paradigm and it was broadcast on BBC-2 in October 1992. According to literary critics, Harrison's work acts as a mirror through which the audience can gaze at the horrors without being petrified. The video-poem has been described as the "right lyre for the twentieth century". The narration of the film is done through the mouth of a statue of the Jewish poet Heinrich Heine, which Kaiser Wilhelm II had removed from the Achilleion palace on Corfu after he took over ownership from Empress Elisabeth of Austria. The film describes the connection between Heine, the Corfu Gorgon and Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had an obsession with the Gorgon. Harrison has also published a poetry book based on the same concept. The book version received the Whitbread Prize for Poetry. (en)

O vídeo-poema foi descrito como a "lira certa para o século XX". A narração do filme é feita através da boca de uma estátua do poeta judeu Heinrich Heine, que Kaiser Wilhelm II havia retirado do palácio em Corfu depois que ele assumiu a propriedade da Imperatriz Elisabeth da Áustria. O filme descreve a conexão entre Heine, o Górgona de Corfu e o Kaiser Wilhelm II, que tinham uma obsessão pela Górgona. Harrison também publicou um livro de poesia baseado no mesmo conceito.
