DownloadBefore, her hair was a writhing nest of snakes
and her eyes had the power to petrify,
Medusa was a young woman who worshipped at the temple of Athena,
the goddess of wisdom and war.
But all the while, as Medusa tended to Athena’s shrine,
Poseidon, god of the seas and horses, was watching her.
And one night, he crept into the temple as Medusa prayed,
and assaulted her.
