Medusa Medusa was part of the great Greek mythology. Most people think of Medusa, as the big, hideous, ugly creature. But, she wasn't always that ugly. Once, in ancient Greece, she was a servant for the beautiful Aphrodite. Aphrodite told Medusa, that she could never be with Poseidon, because Poseidon was a god and Medusa was a mortal. But, one night, Poseidon [the god of the seas] raped Medusa. Full of anger, Aphrodite punished Medusa so she could die of loneliness and never love one, ever again, for she was to ugly, and one look, in to someone’s eyes, will turn them into stone. Some say that Athena was the goddess, who punished Medusa. And the story went like this: Medusa lived up in the north, so she couldn't see the sun. So one day she asked Athena, the goddess of wisdom, if she could let her go down south. But, Athena refused. Medusa got into a rage. Athena punished her and turn her into a hideous creature and put a curse on her, if someone’s eyes and her’s meet, they will turn to stone
