Description

Medusa was one of the three Gorgons in Greek mythology, and the only mortal among them. In some versions of the myth, she was originally a very beautiful woman. According to the most well-known account (told by Ovid), Medusa was punished by Athena after she was assaulted by Poseidon in Athena’s temple. As punishment, Athena transformed her hair into snakes and gave her the power to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. She was eventually beheaded by the hero Perseus, who later used her head as a weapon, since it retained its power even after her death. Today, Medusa is often seen as a complex symbol, representing both a monster and a victim, as well as themes of divine punishment and injustice.
