The coral is an extraordinary gift of nature. The only species of coral living in the Mediterranean is red coral which requires many specific conditions in order to grow: constant salinity in the water, low wave movement, and limited exposure to light. . According to Greek mythology, coral originated from the blood of Medusa, one of the three Gorgons, killed by Perseus. The sea nymphs stole some drops of her blood, which on contact with seawater, turned into coral. Since its mythological origins, therefore, coral has possessed features which for centuries have portrayed it as a controlling symbol of life and regeneration, and talisman against evil forces. .
