The Myth
- In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of the Gorgons, a trio of creatures whose hair was made of venomous snakes and whose gaze could turn anyone and anything to stone. Despite this, many depictions show her as being incredibly beautiful. Unlike her two sisters, Stheno and Euryale, Medusa was mortal. Her demise came at the hands of Perseus, who used a mirrored shield given to him by Athena to see Medusa's reflection and not have to look at her directly.
