She has a thick snake hair and a pair of wild boar's fangs. Even her neck is covered with snake scales, and even her lower body has become a snake. Most of them are the lower body of a rattlesnake, and even her lower body has become the lower body of such a proud rattlesnake because of humiliating her. So the goddess of wisdom gave her a pair of eyes, and anyone who saw it would immediately turn to stone.
Medusa was originally a beautiful woman (rumored to be Poseidon's child). One legend is that Athena was jealous of her hair. More widely circulated legend is that Poseidon was attracted by Medusa's beauty and raped her in Athena's temple, which angered Athena. Athena could not punish Poseidon, so she turned Medusa into a terrible snake hair.
There is also a saying that Medusa is Poseidon's lover, because Poseidon once watched the ocean kingdom he ruled everywhere with her. At that time, Poseidon said that Athena had taken Athens by improper means, which was a joke, but it was believed by Medusa. Soon after, Medusa ordered her two sisters to make trouble in Athens. Athena and luna learned that Athena couldn't stand Medusa's contempt for her and her two sisters' arrogance. Although I knew it was his uncle's masterpiece, I had to take it out on Medusa because I couldn't get revenge. After my uncle found Medusa, I scolded Medusa in a rage, saying that she was beautiful and ruthless, and only an ugly face could deserve her vicious heart, turning her into a femme fatale with snake hair in her eyes. This is the version of the Korean anime Olympus.
[Medusa the Snake]
Medusa the snake demon
Poerxiusi, the son of Zeus, knew the secret, so he turned around and looked for Medusa with a bright shield as a mirror. With the help of Athena and Hermes, he cut off her head. Pegasus and giant Chrysaor are descendants of Medusa. Chrysaor flew out of the blood sea of Medusa on a flying horse, and was attacked by strong wind in the air, and was blown from side to side. The blood dripping from Medusa's head fell into the Libyan desert and became a poisonous snake. Although Medusa's blood is highly toxic, it has special power and once gave Ericthonius the ability to bring back the dead. Poerxiusi killed Cetus, a sea monster, with Medusa's head cut off. When he came back, he gave it to Athena, who fixed it between his shield and breastplate. Medusa's head is often used by artists on symbolic badges, architectural decorations and even Athens coins, as well as on soldiers' shields.
