Want to be a hero every morning?
This is the new Spider shower head from Italian manufacturer Visentin .
It can be ceiling or wall established and every the the mini shower heads may be placed independently. Visentin isn't the primary producer to play around with this bathe configuration. I find them to be thrilling however no longer for the reasons Visentin wishes me to.
When I see these shower heads, I see the head of Medusa.

Medusa changed into a Gorgon, certainly one of three terrifying sisters who wreaked havoc across the the panorama of classical antiquity.
Medusa started out as a ravishing beauty and a priestess in Athena's temple. She had a lot of luck with gentlemen callers but pressed her luck too far by bedding down Poseidon in the temple itself. This enraged Athena (who wouldn't be enraged?) so Athena turned Medusa into a hag and transformed her glorious hair to snakes.
Enter Perseus. Perseus turned into a hero-in-the-making and his mother turned into about to be wed against her desires to King Polydectes of Seriphos. Polydectes send Perseus to head retrieve Medusa's head because he wanted to give it as a present. Perseus enlisted the assist of Anthena and Hermes who gave him a Cap of Invisibility, a sword, a mirrored protect and a pair of winged sandals; and off to work he went. By the use of the cap of invisibility and the reflected shield, Perseus were given near sufficient to Medusa to behead her without ever having to have a look at her.

Once he had the pinnacle, Perseus flew returned to Seriphos, showed the top to Polydectes and became him to stone, accordingly saving his mom from a wedding she failed to want to undergo with. He later gave the head to Athena who connected it to her defend and ended up with the final revenge at the fornicating Medusa.

The moral of the story? Take your pick. Never fool around with a god in another god's temple, no matter how good he looks or the kinds of promises he makes. He's going to get away Scot free and you're going to have to deal with some kind of divine wrath. Another good one to remember is to be careful of sending the son of the woman you want to marry against her will on a heroic labor. Overall, just like any classical myth, the overriding lesson is always "behave yourself."
That's a variety of paintings to undergo simply to take a bath in the morning. Heaven is aware of I love Classical Mythology, however sometimes I want to just begin my day with a conventional shower that does not inspire me to assume a lot.
What about you? Do these many-serpent-headed showers pass you in any precise direction? Would you are taking a shower with a Gorgon?
