The mythological creature who turned people to stone?
I don't know of any Egyptian goddess who turned people to stone, but the Greek Medusa was a monster so hideous any living creature that looked at her would turn to stone. In some versions of the myth she is a daughter of the gods and sister to the Gordons. In others she was a beautiful young mortal who was so vain that she insulted Athena who turned her into a monster.
Where did Athena bring Medusa after she punished her?
After punishing Medusa by turning her hair into snakes and making her face so horrifying that anyone who looked at her would be turned to stone, Athena brought her to the island of Sarpedon as a permanent exile. It is said that Medusa's mere presence on the island turned it into a desolate and barren wasteland.
What happened between Athena and Medusa?
Athena was angry that Medusa slept with Poseidon in her temple, so she turned her into a Gorgon. ____ Some myths say Medusa was a priestess of Athena and that she (Medusa) was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Athena didn't care that Medusa was raped Athena just cared that her temple was defiled.
What was the Medusa?
Medusa was a female demon in Greek mythology. She was depicted as having an ugly and frightening face, with snakes in her hair; in fact, she was considered so deadly that just looking at her could turn a person to stone.
How did Perseus feel after cutting off Medusa's head?
Safe because Perseus killed Medusa for a good reason. 1. Medusa is evil and Perseus is a hero. 2. Medusa killed a lot of men and women just by turning them into stones. 3. Medusa will be punished for being evil and Perseus will be rewarded for being a hero. Perseus is the hero who decapitated Medusa's head off her body by using his sword. Perseus is very smart and knows how to kill Medusa because he uses his shield as a reflection so that he won't look at her in the eyes just so he can see her using his shield as a mirror just by looking at it. He tricked Medusa and removed her head from her body!
