The StoryTeller: Greek Myths (1991)

The follow-up series to The Storyteller, with many of the same crew from that series working on it as part of the Jim Henson Creature Workshop, in particular Gary Pollard and Neal Scanlan. 'Theseus and the Minotaur' had its titular monster realized as a sculpting bodysuit and animatronic head, with several behind the scenes images taken from Pollard's facebook page.
More prosthetics and animatronics were utilized for 'Perseus and the Gorgon', with Pollard overseeing the makeup team for the Graeae hags.
Meanwhile Nigel Booth oversaw the Gorgon makeup effects, with Medusa being achieved as prosthetic makeups and an animatronic snake hairdo applied on Frances Barber; the other Gorgons were meanwhile only prosthetic makeups.
