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 |

boman2014: 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.

She was just a sweet little girl, until she was raped and then cursed. Now, I would like to relate this to the cases of rape that seems to be on the rise these days. It is enough stigma that a lady has to go through rape, but pinning the blame on her would only bring out the Medusa in her. Let us learn to judge rightly and objectively. 1 Like |

While this story fits the rape narrative, you should also know that Athena can be filled with hate and jealousy at women especially, cursing them at will. You should read the story of Arachne. Athena cursed and turned her into a spider just because she beat her at a weaving contest. |

I watched "clash of the titans"(1981) but didn't understand much about medusa till i watched "clash of the titans"(2010) before i could decipher what really transpired between Athena, Medusa and Pesaidon. What I understood in this whole thing is that, Athena could not curse a god rather, vent her anger on a poor mortal, and it's a crime to be beautiful, even now and then. Clash of the Titans 1981, the words of the character Alman the poet and playwright: ..."she made love in temple of Aphrodite, the goddess became so jealous that she punished Medusa" |
