Male Gorgons commonly wear their snakes tied back in some way in mountain clan and desert clan societies, though for different reasons. In the mountain clan, it's a gesture of submission to the females, who keep their snakes loose. In the desert clan, the men -- who are usually warriors of some type -- bind their snakes whenever they're not fighting to show that they're being peaceful at the moment. For Elan to wear her snakes back in a ponytail, even though she's female, is very weird.
