MEDUSA ,,,,,,,,, ΜΕΔΟΥΣΑ
One of the Gorgons, and the only one who was mortal. Her gaze could turn whoever she looked upon to stone. There is a particular myth in which Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden. She desecrated Athena's temple by lying there with Poseidon. Outraged, Athena turned Medusa's hair into living snakes.
Medusa was killed by the hero Perseus with the help of Athena and Hermes. He killed her by cutting of her head and gave it to Athena, who placed it in the center of her Aegis, which she wore over her breastplate.
From Medusa's dead body the giant Chrysaor and the winged horse Pegasus, her son by Poseidon, sprang forth.

Η Μέδουσα στην ελληνική μυθολογία αναφέρεται ως μία από τις τρεις Γοργόνες. Από τις τρεις αδελφές η Μέδουσα ήταν η θνητή. Το άλλο της όνομα ήταν Γοργώ, που σημαίνει άγρια ματιά.
Κόρη του Φόρκυ ή Φορκέα και της Κητούς, αδελφή των Γοργόνων Σθενώ και Ευρυάλη, και των Γραιών Δεινώ, Ενυώ και Πεφρηδώ, ήταν στην αρχή Κενταύρισσα.
Κατά μια εκδοχή ήταν τόσο όμορφη που ο Ποσειδώνας ήθελε να ενωθεί μαζί της. Μεταμορφωμένος σε άλογο βρέθηκε σε επαφή μαζί της, στον ιερό χώρο της Αθηνάς. Η θεά, εξοργισμένη με το γεγονός, δεν μπορούσε να έρθει σε ρήξη με τον Ποσειδώνα και έτσι ξέσπασε πάνω στην Μέδουσα. Την μεταμόρφωσε σε απεχθές τέρας, που αντί για μαλιά είχε φίδια.
Η ασχήμια της ήταν τέτοια, που όποιος την κοιτούσε στο πρόσωπο πέτρωνε.
Το κεφάλι της, το περίφημο "Γοργόνειο", το παρέλαβε η θεά από τον ήρωα και το επίθεσε στην ασπίδα της, επειδή το κεφάλι της, ακόμη και νεκρό, πέτρωνε όποιον το κοίταζε.
Medusa este fiica monstruoasă a lui Phorcys şi a lui Ceto şi una dintre gorgone, singura care este muritoare dintre cele trei. Privirea sa putea transforma pe orice muritor în stană de piatră. Există un mit care spune că Medusa fusese la început o fecioară frumoasă. A desacralizat templul Atenei culcându-se în el cu Poseidon. Furioasă, Atena a preschimbat părul Medusei în şerpi vii.
Medusa a fost ucisă de eroul Perseus cu ajutorul Atenei şi al lui Hermes. A ucis-o tăindu-i capul şi dându-i-l Atenei, care l-a întipărit pe egida ei, purtată drept platoşă.
Din corpul neînsufleţit al Medusei au răsărit gigantul Chrysaor şi calul înaripat Pegas, fiul său cu Poseidon.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
