My Mythology Project


Medusa was one of three Gorgon sisters. Phorcys and his sister had three beautiful children, Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale. Even though Medusa was beautiful than most, she still wasn’t satisfied. Some people say that she got caught having sex with Poseidon (the God of the sea). Others say that she wanted to see the sun. When she went and asked Athena, the goddess of wisdom, for permission to see the sun, she got rejected and decided to do what she wanted anyways. When Athena found out about what Medusa did, she punished her by turning her beautiful hair into snakes and making her one of the ugliest creatures of all time. It is also known to be that when someone stares her directly in the eye she will turn them into stone. While she was pregnant with Poseidon’s child, she was beheaded by Perseus, the son of Zeus.



v One of Medusa’s powers is turning people into stone if they look her straight in the eye. v Another power was her hair that were made out of snakes. v She was also good with a bow and arrow

=Medusa also has a make up line and a lounge named after her. Honestly it depends on which story you beleive in to consider how you feel about Medusa.Me personally i believe the story in which she got raped by poseidon and i feel sorry for her that she got punished for being a victim.I wouldnt be friends with her though because i really dont like snakes, but i do believe that she didnt deserve what she got.I do respect her although i despise the hatred she held inside of her because after she turned ugly she started to kill innocent victims.=
