Didima was one of the main Oracle Temples of Apollo. That's
why it is quite extraordinary, that Medusa and Her companions can be found here. The
common explanation is that She functions as a guard to deter evil ghosts. Even if that is

confirmation of Her inherent power
What is exceptionally as well
are the Lions surrounded with vegetation. Indeed, early forms of the Green Man. That they
have a place in a temple of Apollo - the Light God - who left every "irrationality
behind - is indicative of tenacious their existence throughout times.
