Medusa Scenes [1080P+Logoless] (NO BG Music)

[@Wakanda888]

I like that Annabeth is so blindly loyal to her mother. Like in her eyes, Athena can do no wrong, which makes her tell Medusa that what happened to her isn't true and that she's a liar that is more proof that she is blindly loyal and knows nothing. But Medusa is just looking at her like "honey you weren't there. You don't know".

[@GooglyMoogly68]

Medusa realizes this, that’s why she never attempted to argue with her. In reality the gods are downright corrupt.

[@isaklal518]

Yeah, annabeth is right that is just Roman propaganda and strictly Roman

[@Wakanda888]

@isaklal518 Actually, the story of Medusa, Athena, and Posideon is a Greek story. In the Percy Jackson/Greek mythology, the story is true, and it's up to the listener on who to believe Medusa or Athena/Posideon. As you can clearly see, a lot of people believe the Gods more. Medusa was a victim who was turned into a villain by the gods based on a lie. Annabeth believes her mother more than Medusa because, like Medusa said their both the same. They both worshipped/worship Athena. Medusa only found out the truth about her idol until after the tragedy she faced with Posideon happened, and Athena turned her back on her. Annabeth is still blindly loyal and probably always will be because Athena is her mother.

@isaklal518 Hey, how about you delete yours. There's no need to be rude. You can correct someone in a calm and respectful way. Obviously, I made a mistake and thought of something else. There is no need for disrespect, okay?

[@isaklal518]

@Wakanda888 okay sorry. I didn't know what came over me but I think it's because I feel sympathy for the characters Athena and Poseidon who gets bad rep by people who don't like them and then when you tell someone their usual reply is I prefer Ovid's propaganda. Please don't spread Ovid's propaganda it gets hard trying to correct it and I will delete it as you asked

​@@Blasted2Oblivion that's a roman myth from the writer Ovid Ovid, Metamorphoses 4. 790 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) : "Her [Medousa's] beauty was far-famed, the jealous hope of many a suitor, and of all her charms her hair was loveliest; so I was told by one who claimed to have seen her. She, it's said, was violated in Minerva's [Athena's] shrine by the Lord of the Sea [Poseidon]. Jupiter's [Zeus'] daughter [Athena] turned away and covered with her shield her virgin's eyes. And then for fitting punishment transformed the Gorgo's lovely hair to loathsome snakes. Minerva [Athena] still, to strike her foes with dread, upon her breastplate wears the snakes she made." In the greek myth by Hesiod Medusa was a gorgon since birth and had a *consensual* relationship with Poseidon in a field of flowers

[@BlackBerry-r5n]

Putting a invisible hat on her ,so you can't see her, is an incredibly Smart Move. This Annabeth is already a lot more smarter than the movie version.

[@calebmcclure3893]

they didn't have an invisible hat in the movie, whilst it might seem smart at first, it could also easily backfire on them if medusa dodged or blocked the sword swing. As now they can't see her but she can still see them. She could've stood right in front of them and then taken the hat off, instantly turning them to stone. best thing to do would be the movies tactic of looking at a reflection or getting someone to distract her whilst the other person goes for a decapitation swing with a sword.

Annabeth is dum medusa was raped I'm so sorry they didn't make love lies , the story was she was priestess to Athena whom was jealous over Medusa beauty , she did nothing to people who love Medusa, but for revenge poseidon raped Medusa who call to Athena!! to help her she didn't care , she was raped on the altar of Athena temple by Poseidon because Poseidon wanted now call Athens for himself, to get revenge he rape Medusa in Athena temple, so miss actress better do her homework on the real drill of the story , percy Jackson is just a book , movie or whatever . The book talk about her being raped, so people call it making love please she hid from poseidon from what I read in novels!! Ovid story a little different but no means no. Then out of her slain head birth Pegasus and Chrysor the giant , Perseus beheaded her to defeat the kraken and a king who hurt his mother . Then gave her head to Athena to wear as a sheild, Percy Jackson and Annabeth don't know jack squat. Maybe it might be told differently in stories big deal but Medusa in other stories had more children , I could be wrong so many stories about her.

Medusa was a high priestess of Athena. Athena was angered when Medusa was raped by her uncle in her temple. The goddess turned Medusa into a monster, yet even so, the Olympians wouldn't let her go.

I love the nuance of Medusa. They implied a major, obvious power imbalance when Poseidon seduced her, but she's still a villain because she has all those statues of innocent victims in her basement. Her story is valid and she has a point to question the gods, but it doesn’t justify what she's choosing to do now. Love this series.

[@quizzlybear]

To be fair, a lot of those statues are not "innocent" victims. Some are countless men sent to murder her for glory and some are outright monsters. But eventually she does succumb to the darkness and use her power on innocents, which given her life it would be hard not to.

Just to be clear, Medusa being a victim is *NOT* the original version of the tale. In the original Greek version, she was one of many monsters that just always existed or came from Echidna, the mother of monsters. Echidna basically existed to create whatever “monster of the week” our designated ancient heroes would face. The “Medusa is a victim” narrative comes to us from the Roman writer Ovid, who had a lot of anti-authority views that he channeled into a series called “Metamorphosis” that told the stories of many people who were transformed against their will at the whims of gods in order to make a statement about corrupt higher power not caring for innocent normal people. His retelling of Medusa’s story is one of these. So, as I said, not the original still interesting and multilayered.

Allow me to explain cause y'all are confused: Kind of a TW The version in which Medusa is Athena's prestiess and gets r worded by Poseidon was written by a roman poet. In the original she was a Gorgon who got pinished for doing the thing with Poseidon in Athena's temple. The series combines these two versions, making Medusa a victim (tho I don't think a r__e victim)but also a villain.

[@jessnalulila5552]

Fun fact about Medusa: Ovid never described her as a Priestess Ovid, Metamorphoses 4. 790 ff (trans.

[@rynfornow3411]

From Quora: There are two and a half versions of this myth: She and her two sisters were born gorgons, but Medusa chose her beauty over immortality The next two are basically the same, that she was a priestess of Athena and Poseidon raped her, transforming into a gorgon as a result, but there are wide differences between the reasoning Ovid, salty little man-baby he is, claimed that Medusa was a vain priestess who spurned Poseidon after teasing him with sex, then after being raped, Athena took the side of the man claiming that it’s Medusa’s fault for being so vain and enticing a god, so a hideous monster was her fate. Please, always remember, if Ovid wrote it, it’s probably full of crap The more likely version of the myth is that Medusa was a pious priestess who just so happened to be extremely beautiful, but hid within Athena’s clergy to protect herself from men. Poseidon, much like baby brother Zeus, never met a boundary he could respect. He rapes the priestess and before he can finish, Medusa begs Athena for salvation from men. She is turned into a gorgon, her gaze turning men to stone rather than be raped by man or god again So, either she’s born as a gorgon or it’s a consequence of being raped by Poseidon in Athena’s temple

I feel like this version of Medusa (very close to the original story from what I can tell) could have been very happy with simply being respected and treated with kindness rather than feared. She got a really raw deal from the very goddess she worshiped and has suffered and been feared ever since. If she didn't petrify all the innocent people that came her way, she could absolutely be a tragic victim with a healing heart instead of a tragic victim turned monster. Alas, that is not how her story goes.

Like the novel, Medusa's backstory is a modified version of Ovid's take on her myth. The writers deliberately kept it ambiguous if Medusa's relationship with Poseidon was completely consensual. In an interview with Variety, episode co-writer Jon Steinberg discussed these choices: "I like that the story perceives that relationship from Percy’s point of view. It’s not entirely clear: Did they love each other? It seems like they did, but what went wrong? Did anything go wrong? Is it possible that Medusa had an awful experience with Poseidon and Sally didn’t?"[3]

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Rick Riordan, in his role as executive producer for the show, wanted to make Medusa more sympathetic and beautiful than her book counterpart. In the same interview, he said, "In Medusa’s point of view, the real curse wasn’t making her ugly. It was making her invisible. She has chosen, in this version, to own that. To be seen. To be elegant. She turns people into stone and uses that as art."[3]

[@michaelmidax8108]

I never could help but feel bad for Medusa. My wife and I grew up together and we liked reading and watching the same things. One of which was different ethnic mythologies. 20 years ago when we were 9, and what's ironic and uncanny is we didn't want to read the Greek mythos like an ordinary book. So to make reading it even more fun was looking in that book's table of contents of different Greek mythology individuals, we wrote them on paper, tore the paper to make each individual of the mythos a solo pick, put them in a left over McDonald's bag, take a name out when it was our turn (hers or mine). It was the 9th entry and her turn to pick. Who does she pull out...Medusa. lbvs😂😂😂 But what we didn't know was there are more than a few ways and tellings in Greek mythology. The librarian at our school told us. The first one of Medusa stories we red was she was born a gorgan and she preferred not to be sought out and to be left alone with her sisters. Her had became a trophy piece that a king wanted Percy to retrieve. Hermes, Hades, and Athena contributed in helping him kill her. The 2nd telling...smh, heartbreaking. And it has 2 versions as well but the most spoken of the 2 was Medusa was gorgeous and Athena was jealous. Medusa swore a vow of chastity to Athena that she'd never have sex. Men used to stalk her and follow her to Athena's temple and just watch her. Unfortunately, one of which was the lustful serial r*pist and Olympic god of the sea, whom Athena loathed vehemently. He made advances on Medusa (by the way, that's not her name. I can't immediately recall what it was but she was named Medusa after Athena transformed her). Medusa rejected him respectfully and told him her devotion to Athena, whom he loathed as well. And how dare a woman tell Posiedon, no? Especially a mortal woman? She tried to fight him off and run, but he caught up to her and decided to kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. Getting his rocks off by violating Medusa in the Athena's temple. And right when you think she'd steaming livid and go after her uncle for the gross defiling disrespect in her temple. She is happy, secretly so. And basically did her like the so called Christians often do to pregnant victims of r*pe...don't care and condemn them. Athena finally had a reason to hurt her, and mind you, this is shortly after the poor girl was r*ped. In pain and shock, she was still there. She hadn't moved. Medusa took no mercy on her. Transformed her into a gorgan, so now when man would look her in the face and eyes they'd nolonger see a fair maiden, they'd see a frightening monster. Turning into stone as they screamed in horror. Hurting her every time it happened. It got to the point where she just left and stayed on a island at a dangerous part of the sea, hoping no one would come looking for her. But over the many years before Percy was propositioned to find and behead her. Numerous men tried to find her. So much til the entry way of the cave and the path farther into it, Percy sees dozens of petrified stone statues. Even after all the years she made that innocent girl suffer as a lonely monster. She takes her hatred and evil a large leaping step forward to the absolute worst she could do to her. Taught Percy where she lived, how to get there, her powers, how to kill her, and provided the tools Percy would need. And he succeeded. Cutting her head of as she slept. The 2nd telling of this telling of what happened is what you're seeing in this scene. Even though Athena ignored her always, IN BOTH TELLINGS. Posiedon sees and hears Medusa. He still loathed Athena like she loathed him, but he didn't get with her to Athena. He and Medusa fell in love. Athena finds out. Curses Athena. Later helps Percy kill her. Gave him a special sword (the sword the book and the show says Posiedon gives Percy) and Hades helm of invisibility (the cap Athena 's daughter in the book and show has). They battle. He kills her. And in all tellings, her head becomes a temporary weapon for Percy. As her head was like any other decapitated head, but when held in front of someone the head would reanimate and her eyes would open. It's like Loki from norse mythology. He's often given a bad name but until you read the mythos, you won't most everything he did was out of retaliation and deep heartbreak and pain Odin caused him. Crazier than that, is Odin is supposed to be the wisest and not even he realized that the enemy against him at/on Ragnarok were comprised of the millions of people he did wrong and hurt. However, like Medusa, they are looked at as the evil monsters although they are victims. And those harrowed to be the good/the heroes are actually the real monsters.

What movie is this?

[@dacaba]

0:07 i love seen Nora Allen or Jessica again😂

[@SocarellaDeToussaint]

Ooh, I liked her.

[@SaphireKancer90]

I find it completely impossible to see any incarnation of Medusa (regardless of media form) as a villain after knowing how she became like that. gRaped by a god and punshied by the god she followed for getting gRaped...like wtf?

[@troncron2458]

Even with snakes for hair she's beautiful

[@rynfornow3411]

For those saying Ovid wrote this version so it’s not “canon”. Not really. Her SA version was around before him. But his version she was vain and seduced Poseidon. So it was her fault it happened. Also! This story was before Christianity, and no one is arguing about that interpretation of him being the savior. Even before that “Lucifer” was a misinterpretation by a man talking about Venus. And ppl since then made it canon.

[@nightwing7820]

0:50 great straight up Hansel and Gretel in the witch’s house plus one

[@ashleystevens6829]

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Annabeth Chase Fatal Flaw : - Hubris Annabeth admits that the first thing all of Athena's children learn is that "mom is the best at everything and that any thought to the contrary is not taken well"

[@SirsasthNigam.]

OG Greek story was Gorgons being Monsters from birth with Medusa being only Mortal gorgon it was Ovid who changed Medusa backstory to explain Pegasus and Chrysaor birth Riordan found great drama in Ovid version for Percabeth

[@tuesdae666]

What show is this?

[@ReneeGreene-ew2kg]

Athena's Temple is in Kentucky. Why?

[@Gradestar10]

In th movies, not in this TV series. But it's said that it's only a replica tho, not th original 1

[@ReneeGreene-ew2kg]

To be clear. I wasn't referring the movie. I was referring to a temple in America, Kentucky. I just found out about it. Very unusual

[@sebastianacevedo9891]

[@MongTab]

[@Lanetgm]

There’s only one season rn chill she’s in episode 3 btw

[@MorainalorettB]

She is no liar , that child no not what she speaks , the real story has always been tragic , I dont like what happen to Medusa in the books, it proves evil exist , the good came is her children Pegasus, Chrysor, her daughter which is unnamed which they never revealed in books, But i took notice people love incest in manga, greek legends books and tv shows so tired of that.

[@tinu7398]

which movie please?

[@paradiseb5950]

Wasn’t this already in the movie?

[@jaysonlaniba9320]

Still prefer the Medusa of the movie version. Uma Thurman was soooo cool to watch.

[@foodiejamir9189]

Is it a movie i can't it anywhere

[@mucioagustinmartinezzarago2649]

0:03 Medusa!

[@nastiaterenteva4669]

What movie?

[@davidgriego549]

To stay alive you must not look her directly in her eyes

[@artstrology]

Medusa is a personification of first decan Scorpio, Dolphin. It is a female snake decan, and the premise comes from averted eyes, intolerance of totalitarian authority, and the inability to be impressed by much of anything. Marie Antoinette was this decan and her head was removed. Hillary Clinton is also this decan, and she has been characterized as Medusa. This decan can also have large calf muscles that run to the ankles,... The best attribute, is they are very commonly known as 'queens' when they become successful at anything. Mahalia Jackson , - the Queen of Soul...at the famous speech by MLK , it was Mahalia that yelled, "Tell them about the dream,Martin". video on Dolphin at my channel

[@Faileez23]

Whats the name of this movie or series

[@ramdjow2882]

If you look very carefully when she has her hat on you can see the snakes moving behind her

[@TayBun]

Like ik a lot of people really like this interpretation but the one from the book is just better?? Like they feel like kids! It still gets the point across that he was going with the victim Medusa but also gives a really ominous vibe.

[@marian1000brb]

Athena was no better then the other gods! Look at her in the Homer's Iliad.

[@geroldy4546]

This show is bitchin

[@ARYAJONDHALE]

Lol i get that reference!!! (If u meant what i think u meant)

[@Itmescoobertdoo]

She was supposed to be scary but here oh my God they make her look hot. It’s just me or I think I have a crush on her in Percy Jackson show

[@philippeflores6672]

It's a shame they didn't include AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" when they headed for Medusa's garden.

[@Ajr1234]

Why is this Medusa so pretty. I want to trust her but i know i shouldn't

[@AnahySanchez-Diaz]

Wtf? What does trust have to do with anything? Shes sharing her story and all they say is the same things as the elders....like how does YOUR trust come into play?

[@alexissperezz94]

Is that Jessica Parker Kennedy from “the black sails”… she’s the wife of 911: LS star Ronen Rubinstein.. 🙌 nice….

[@junjun589]

Annabeth is black? Not blond and has blue eyes

[@TheHeadlessWalnut]

You get turned to stone if she looks at you, not if you look at her.

[@HASSAN-fj4mi]

Movie name please
