Story of Medusa

Medusa was a beautiful maiden, every man in Greece wanted to possess her, but Medusa couldn’t get married for she was a priestess of Athena, the goddess of war. In a fit of passion, the god Poseidon rapes Medusa. Athena, since she herself is also a god, sides with Poseidon and punishes Medusa by transforming her into a hideous Gorgon monster.

Enraged, Athena not only removed her beauty, but even worse, made her so ugly people, especially men, turned to stone just looking at her.

Eventually, a Greek hero named Perseus promised to kill her. He borrowed  Hermes’ winged sandals and Hades’ cap of invisibility. He carried a powerful scythe and a mirrored shield. His speed and invisibility allowed him to get close to her. He used the mirror to “see” her without becoming a stone and beheaded her.
