The Facts About Medusa
Medusa was turned into a gorgon by Athena. Before she got turned into a gorgon , she was a beautiful woman with long hair, and smooth skin. She got turned into a gorgon because Medusa and Poseidon went on a date in Athena’s palace.
Athena cursed Medusa and now she is a gorgon.
The Theories About Medusa The myth is that if you looked into
Medusa’s eyes, you turned to stone. In the picture below,( from the movie, Clash of the Titans, the original) one of Perseus’ men is about to get turned into stone. She also had a garden of stone men
because they were supposed to last forever.
Team Conclusion
Our team conclusion is that we don’t believe in Medusa because we don’t think there was enough evidence to justify that she is real. We thought it was a
cool myth to study.
