Medusa Has Entered The Bronze Age

I work at the help desk in a museum about Ancient Greece. We’re in the same room as some of the statues and artifacts. A visitor approaches and then points at one of the large bronze statues in the room. Due to its incredible age, it has lost its arms.

Visitor: “Did he have arms when he was still alive?”

Me: “Erm, it’s a statue, not a real person.”

Visitor: “No, I mean before he died and became a statue.”
