Perhaps Perseus, who slew the Medusa, the snake-haired monster of
"so frightful an aspect that no living thing could behold her without
being turned into stone."

Perseus avoid being turned to stone by clever use of indirection --
he avoided looking directly at Medusa, instead looking only at her
reflection in the mirror of his polished shield.
