Did you just say 'ugly' Then you don't the story quite well.
She was one of the most beautiful women back then. OP do more research.
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.

God wiped out that generation using water. The new one started with Noah.
No semen, no egg..Jesus supernaturally entered mary womb..Its not rape. Angel Gabriel came to inform mary before the pregnancy was placed in her, Had it been she rejected the offer it wouldn't be forced on her. It was with consent. She is even happy to choosen among all women.
ACCEPT JESUS AND REPENT
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
U think Mary is a small child,if an awesome angel wth a flaming appearance comes to tell her do not be AFRAID and said jah will visit her tonight & u shall conceive who is she to refuse,mankind from time immemorial totally submit themselves to superior beings,deities out of fear & more over those beings has been coming in different forms like serpent,cow,horse,angel,men,if angels can take d form of men to visit abraham & ate meat....why is it impossible for jah on flesh & blood?No egg no semen?then womb is not needed too.we hav more of those corrupt seeds in this generation than noah's.

It's sad you don't get the message.
Were you born into a Christian home? Yes or no.
If you were, there's always a possibility of you practicing the religion of your parents.
Do you know what indoctrination is? undecided
You've been fed all these things right from birth and you have believed them your whole life. So, you being an adult has nothing to do with it.
It's just indoctrination.

Which religion were you born into? Atheism
I chose to believe whom or what I want to believe in. If u chose not to believe in anything, no one cares

Oya prove how Moses divided the sea with his hands. Prove how Jesus walked on water. Prove how a man lived in the belle of a fish for three days. Prove how the moon and sun were stopped. Prove how a donkey talked. Prove how angels fell from the sky to have sex with humans.
Back up these events with a credible and verifiable source of history.

You said I should read history to see proof of events in the bible.
You asked for the events I was talking about and I gave them to you, now I'm asking you to back these events with verifiable source of history, and you said it doesn't matter what you show me.

I'm only trying to learn here lol.... If the events in the bible are backed up by history, then show me.. cheesy

See the passion you put in expressing foreign
culture but if you hear SANGO or AMADIOHA you will shout Holy Ghost fire.Africans SMH.
you don't know me,so you don't have to assume that am a typical self loathing African.
Amadioha and Sango are our own version of Igbo Zeus and Yoruba Zeus respectively since they are the gods of thunder just as Zeus has the "lightning bolt"
Am of the opinion that Africans must worship African gods because when you worship your racial god,you worship and adore yourself and consequently ATTAIN YOUR GODHOOD quickly.
When an Indian worships before the statue of the Buddha,he sees himself as god he is worshipping resembles himself.
I need linguists and culturally versatile people to help me in this project.
That is why Europeans used their image to replace the image of an Asian and Jewish Jesus,that was when Caucasians established themselves as the master RACE,the Chinese and Japanese worship fellow Asian gods that look like them.
We are the only race that hate our image

things of the spiritual realm have no evidence, the only evidence you will ever get is if you experience them first hand...


people ehn, that's why you believe you can work your way to the top with a carnal mind... lol, you can be rich to an extent but you wanna get to the TOP I mean where people will wanna worship you as a god...you must experience this things... it's more than you can imagine... powers are controlling the earth even YOU, yes YOU...
believe anything you wanna believe but if it's that easy to be rich with all the hard work most people put in their huzzles they are supposed to be richer than Bill Gates... I'm sure it's people like you who will say there is nothing like illuminati nor church of Satan... well it's normal during the time of Jesus self not everyone believed him and as it's written the whole world lied in the power of the wicked one.

believe whatever you wanna believe... take care.

Educating a person with your mental state is like whipping a dead horse.
If the Romans who brought you Christianity actually believed Jesus was true, you think they would have told you?
Go and study how the Emperors of Rome created your Christianity.

yosmen:

someone that claimed he did a study giving us fake story about medusa
actually his story is true Athena might have cursed her out of jealousy but it's clearly stated she caused her because she desecrated her temple which isn't true because medusa didn't rape herself, this is why I hate hypocrites and self righteous idiots, and to the guy claiming he would rather break his game cd instead of killing medusa Hope you know Kratos is the biggest hypocrite of all time as far as am concerned he's the villain of the story and all the supposed wrong he's fighting for 90% is his fault. He's angry because ares made him kill his family but he doesn't see anything wrong with wiping out Atlantis and he started more wars than ares

Good to know, that's the root of inferior complex when you see your God has white anything
white will be superior in your eyes and thanks for the insight.

The story I know about Medusa was Poseidon's girlfriend and because Poseidon and Athena had a disagreement they decided to get naughty in Athena's temple, but being unable to punish Poseidon, punished Medusa, instead turning her and her 2 sisters into the Gorgons.

you lack dept of understanding. The heavenly model is rather duplicated until Christ came, how many of these groups could boast of a single hero.

check the role acted by Perseus in the clash of the Titans,it's the role played by Christ in redeeming the Andromeda (church)from death .
Had it been the world had one language,we would have seen the futility of our discrimination.
