5. Medea
This painting was actually submitted for display at the Royal Academy of Art's Summer Exhibition of 1868, but rejected. It's believed that this happened due to politics rather than a lack of artistic merit, but nevertheless, it was exhibited a year later. It is the work of artist Frederick Sandys.
6. Ophelia
Ophelia, from William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, is depicted singing before drowning in a river in this painting. It was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in the 1850s, but did not receive much attention when it went on display.

Another of Edward Burne-Jones' painting depicts a scene from the story of the Greek hero, Perseus, who killed the gorgon Medusa. The Graiae are three sisters seen kneeling next to Perseus in the painting, who had only one eye between them. Perseus used the eye to find Medusa. The painting was completed in 1892.
9. The Baleful Head
Artist Edward Burne-Jones looked to the myth of Perseus once again for inspiration to create this painting. It depicts Perseus showing Andromeda the head of the slain gorgon, Medusa. The Baleful Head was completed some time between 1886 and 1887.
10. The Birth of Pegasus and Chrysaor
Pegasus is a divine winged stallion from Greek mythology, and Chrysaor was his brother. Their father and mother were the god of the sea, Poseidon, and the gorgon, Medusa, respectively. Chrysaor was only born after the hero, Pegasus, chopped off Medusa's head. This is another work by Edward Burne - Jones, and was completed somewhere between 1876 and 1885.
