He watched her through his reflective shield.
Perseus receives the severed head of Medusa from the gorgons. It's not exactly a gift you'd find on a registry, but hey, it did come in handy for turning his enemies into stone. So, I guess you could say he received a deadly weapon and a great conversation starter all in one.
With her sisters, the Gorgons. Medusa and the Gorgons were also related to the Fates but the Gorgons were half reptile and half human.

Perseus's ultimate escape from the Gorgons resolves the story's conflict by successfully obtaining the head of Medusa to fulfill his mission, which was to secure the Gorgon's head as a gift to Polydectes. By using his cunning and the gifts from the gods, including a reflective shield from Athena and winged sandals from Hermes, Perseus outsmarts the Gorgons and avoids their deadly gaze, thereby overcoming the seemingly insurmountable challenge they presented.

Medusa died: her children by Poseidon, Pegasus and Chrysaor escaped by her blood, her sister Gorgons woke and went after Perseus who ran from them who were immortal.
The gorgon's head turned others who would fight against him to stone.
The conflict in the story of Perseus and Medusa's head is mainly between Perseus and Medusa. Perseus must find a way to defeat Medusa, who can turn people to stone with her gaze, in order to fulfill his quest and protect his kingdom. It is also symbolic of the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Medusa was one of the three Gorgons. ( Three women with snake hair and eyes that can turn you to stone.) She was slayed by the hero Perseus.
