Medusa, the snake-haired monster was a Gorgon. But not always. The Gorgons were three sisters, Sthenno, Euryale, and Medusa, the children of Phorcys and Ceto. Only Medusa was mortal. According to Ovid, Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden. Her beauty caught the eye of Poseidon, who desired her and proceeded to ravage her in Athena’s shrine. When Athena discovered the sea god had ravaged Medusa in her shrine, she sought vengeance by transforming Medusa’s hair into snakes, so that anyone who gazed at her directly would be turned into stone. Other legends say Athena also turned her sisters into gorgons as well. Nothing was done to Poseidon. Some say that was because he was a god and no one could touch him. But, if you read a lot of Greek Mythology, you will see that gods and goddesses do take vengeance on each other all the time. They played tricks on each other (and mortals) and even went to war against each other. They often acted just like people.

If Medusa has worms and she moons you, do you still turn to stone?
