I'm sure you've heard about Medusa but have you heard about her story?Medusa is a character in Greek Mythology, popular for her power to turn whoever makes eye contact with her into stone. Despite being a Gorgon, immortal creatures described being hideous, Medusa was mortal and beautiful. Poseidon was attracted to her beauty and admired her lush, curly locks.Poseidon raped her. In Athena's temple.Needless to say, Athena was infuriated by this desecration.Instead of cursing Medusa's attacker, Athena's response to this was to transform Medusa into a monster.Her hair turned into coils of snakes and her gaze can turn men into stone.She was beheaded by Perseus, a man remembered as a hero, who used her head as a weapon against other onlookers.Some people read this story as a tale of male heroism. I found it to be about a woman who was demonized for the abuse done to her.People
