Bumped into this. A good read
Who knows the story of Medusa? Yes that ugly lady with the hair of snakes. The Gorgon who men dared not look at else they turn to stone. Do you know her real story?! Well I'll tell you!

When I was in school, I was given a project titled Myths and Legends. Well naturally I settled for Greek mythology and Medusa hit my interest.

I always thought she was evil and all but this is
the true story.

So Medusa was the most beautiful girl in her town. Her hair shone like gold. All men wanted her but she never gave in. She caught the eye of Poseidon the god of the sea and didn't give him the time of day. Well what did he do? He raped Medusa in Athena's temple. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war.

Now the sad part was Athena was so enraged by what had happened that she cursed Medusa. Not the man who raped her no! Cursed the poor girl who was raped. Turned her into a creature that no man would ever look at again without dying and turned her beautiful hair into snakes.

Now some have claimed that Athena cursed Medusa to protect her but in all my research and even the writings of the poet, the story was consistent.

When I found out the truth behind Medusa, I changed my project and turned it into a tribute called 'Misunderstood'. I recreated her tombstone, changed her garments and created a pendant with her face on it.

Needless to say that was my best project in school and it was on display.

Now to bring it home. Isn't that what happens these days? Both here and abroad? A girl is raped and instead of going for her attackers, you blame her and slut-shame her. Claim she brought it on herald?

When you think of Medusa you think of an ugly Gorgon.

When I think of Medusa I think of a beautiful lonely girl the world failed. Just as the world is failing women today.

Since I don't believe, it doesn't and didn't exist "in my world". It's a myth.
if you don't believe,it doesn't make reality to become illusion.
Anyway,it's still in the plan of the philosophers to hide knowledge so that unworthy people won't attain some level of important knowledge.
Do you know why?
BECAUSE WHETHER YOU ARE WORTHY, BELIEVING,KIND OR NOT,THE PRINCIPLE OBEYS WHOEVER APPLIES IT.

I encounter madusa in "ATLATIS" she was loved by herculis d fat man who claim to be skillful and powerful during his time of war, she was friend to herculis, jason and pathogoras
wen she was cursed by the gods, the youth in village, draw out technical plans to kill her without looking into her face or head, due to course many has turn into stone by just a glance. When she heard the plot for death. she when to hid her self in a mountain
...jason, pathogoras and herculis, went in search, but herculis was ahead of em and found her, as instructed by socerer,he can only look into the face or head with use of MIRROR...she gave him her last went away for life

engrchykae:
yes you decided the message.
Athena couldn't curse a member of the top three Olympians, Poseidon,so she cowardly cursed a mortal, innocent girl.
Anyway Medusa had her revenge on the gods when her head was used to destroy the Kraken,the son of Hades whom the Olympians have been using to instil fear on humans.
The death of the Kraken, enlightenment and advance of science,ushered in the end of the rule of the Olympians and the beginning of the age of Man.
Myths are highly coded Truth
2-3 Years ago i wouldn't have undertstood your comment and would have Argued with you like someone else did , but since i began my journey into enlightenment and started reading dan browns novels And many others, this has made me to understand your comment and understand it's deeper meaning.

There is a reason I'm enamored with Greek mythology, It is still the best written, historically backed myth. Sometimes I can almost think it is real, Homer did a great job.

You don't need to know. You looked like her before she was cursed
Re: Who Knows The Story Of Medusa? (picture) by TheMohican(m): 8:23pm On Jun 04, 2020
The myth of Medusa really thought provoking, you left out some parts though;

1. Medusa was a devotee to the goddess Athena, she worked in the temple dedicated to Athena meaning that Medusa took an oath of chastity, Poseidon followed her to the temple and raped her there.
2. Some schools of thought theorise that Athena did not curse Medusa but ragher gifted her so that she could protect herself.
3. Athena was a lower god, while Poseidon was one of the strongest, if Athena wanted to take out her vengeance on Poseidon it wouldn't have ended well for her

Same people that won't believe this will believe Jesus walked on water

It's called Greek "mythology " for a reason.
But biblical encounters are documentary with solid proves.
