Medusa story

While many have heard of Medusa as a horrible monster, not many know of her interesting backstory which paints her as a tragic figure.

The story behind the myth. Medusa is one of the well known ‘villains’ of Greek mythology. While many know she’s a ‘monster’ that turns others to stone they don’t know how she backs this way. In some accounts of Medusas’ tale Poseidon attacked her due to her status as a high priestess to Athena. In an attempt to anger Athena he attacked Medusa in her temple taking the one thing that Athena held important to her high priestesses, Medusa’s celibacy.

The truth behind the myth of Medusa doesn't start with Perseus. It doesn't even start with Medusa being cursed by Athena. It begins before that -
