Interesting Myths
Medusa was one of the gorgons. Except she was different. She wasn't immortal like her sisters. Medusa was very beautiful. She had golden hair and nice skin. She loved to look at her reflection. Posiden encountered Medusa one day and he wanted her to be his. Athena didn't like it how Medusa starred at herself all the time, so she turned her golden hair into snakes, skin into scales, and hands into claws, turning her into a monster. Anyone who looked Medusa in the eye turned into stone. She was killed by Perseus who cut her head off(Gunderson).From her dead body Chrysaor and Pegasus were born from the blood of her head(Encyclopedia).
