In the original story, medusa was necer raped, she was just part of the gorgons since birth. A roman poet added the rape part to make it all more tragic but historically, in the greek myth, medusa was just born like this

I prefer the story that Athena felt horrible about Medusa's rape so she put Medusa on a deserted island so she wouldn't be hounded by all the male hound dogs and god hound dogs. Also the other story that Medusa was so beautiful that she was stunning. So stunning that her incredible beauty petrified any man that laid eyes on her. Either way, I have a beautiful tattoo of Medusa on my hand.

I mean technically you can never retell a myth with 100% accuracy since they change and warp over time due to the very nature of them. For example this specific retelli Ng is based on Ovid’s but the original story had Medusa born a monster to two gods. Also Medusa was killed in her sleep unlike here. I personally prefer the boss fight shown here.

I'm starting to think Athena orchestrated Medusa's assault. Medusa was getting all the attention in her sacred temple. But she was loyal to Athena and kept her vows. Knowing how her father and uncle are it wouldn't be too much of a leap to think Poseidon found out about Medusa through Athena. She was a peace offering between the two warring gods

Medusa was always a monster in Greek myths so Athena didn't do anything. What you are describing is a Roman version by Ovid who because the Romans disliked Minerva/Athena made her look as a batch as possible. Both the myths about Medusa and Arachnae are Ovid's.

Nothing was orchestrated, that version along with all the other atrocious acts of the Olympians was made up by the poet Ovid due to his exile from Rome and the denial of asylum from Greeks. He got butthurt and started to spread misinformation do your research. In fact just like Caenis Medusa tried to seduce Poseidon in Athena's temple and break her chastity vow which made Athena to punish her. Please stop trying to rewrite my country's history and mythology to suit agendas.

6:40 …no. The king issued him a challenge and he had to accept because he was the king and can make life even more harder for his foster family and mom. And it would be an announcement to the whole kingdom that this son of Zeus is weak and is a free for all to harass the family. Plus, Zeus would be insulted and that never ends well. 12:47 she never had snake body. 16:37 they didn’t fight at all. Medusa was asleep and he just… lobbed her head off after his footsteps woke her. She barely registered him and she was dead. 19:07 Queen Cassiopeia said Andromeda was more beautiful than all the NEREIDS not Amphitrite. Idk why she would be surprised, Poseidon is one of the most possessive gods. Also, pretty sure he didn’t turn Atlas into stone. Perseus’ descendant is Heracles, who freed Atlas from the sky for a brief moment, so Atlas was, at that time, not a statue.

I'm actually annoyed with Percy Jackson on this actually since its confirmed both Roman and Greek Myths exist and they have separate forms which further begs the question on why the hell did the Greek demigods run into the Roman form of Medusa?!?! I mean I understand gods and monsters are conceptual entities that are warped and changed by humanities perceptions and belief which is why multiple pantheons and versions of the same god exist but that doesn't mean that isn't a massive plot hole for the future.

Medusa's story is always quite interesting and tells of how society at that time viewed women. Medusa's beauty made it impossible for her to maintain modesty in her appearance and that type of beauty drove men to lust. Even choosing to be virtuous and virginal wasn't enough. It is a reminder to women of that time that they should not over-exhibit their beauty as it can cause the wild uncontrollable behaviours of lust to be triggered in men and gods. Athena's actions towards the rape of Medusa may seem out of place to us now but we still have societies today that put the blame of sexual assault of women on the actions of women to cause men to miss behave. What is interesting to me is Athena took the image of Medusa and placed it on her shield. We will never know if it was done out of respect or as a reminder to others. Also, it is interesting to see the rivalry between Athena and Poseidon. Their temples on the Acropolis are next to each other with Anthena's being the main one. This story is much about that power dynamic.

Remember that the story of Medusa being raped came about hundred if not thousands of years after the original myth was told in ancient Greece. It was written by a Roman dude who was doing a whole recounting of the ancient Greek myths and wrote all the gods as evil and incompetent as a way of writing against the government and corrupt higher powers at the time. In the original myths medusa most likely did just hook up with Poseidon in Athena's temple.

@@Briefed_Mythology I know, my knowledgeable friend. I hope you did sense the self-irony in my comment (and it was of course on the myths and not finding fault with your telling of them). I like to think of Greek mythology (and Egyptian for that matter) as similar (or unconscious template to) Latino, especially Spanish, TV series production - a problem at a time and screw logical continuity. Yep that was then and we're not dealing with that now, now is this and this is today's story... Mythology is a bit more entertaining though, most of the time. Keep it up, sir! Thank you for your reply

I have a request for a video on Caligula. I have read that he wasn’t as crazy as historically portrayed.

@Briefed_Mythology 10 ай бұрын
Caligula will be coming within the next months. he was not as crazy as they said, but still pretty out there. the problem is once we dispute historical texts because we claim they might be biased (which they certainly might be), then what do we go on? I personally prefer biased texts over baseless assumptions that were made hundreds of years later, but it's a tough one. I'll try to weave my through it when I tackle Caligula

I remember hearing this interpretation of the Medusa story from somewhere on the internet (needless to say, it isn't mine) but Athena made Medusa a Gorgon not as a punishment but as a gift. She gave her the ability to turn people to stone so that no one could hurt her or harm her ever again, and the time she is killed is to save a woman (Perseus' mother, Danae,) from a forced marriage. It was an interesting take on the story out of many interpretations that I find to be rather cool.

in this video's description, I actually touch on why that interpretation unfortunately just doesn't work in the context the mythology gives us.

Cuz they’re based on people. Zeus is based on power and men of power rape women. Poseidon is based on the sea that’s why he is an enemy of Odysseus bc his voyage was at sea which was very dangerous at the time. That’s why hades captures a young girl Persephone and it’s tragic bc that’s death

There's no account of Poseidon attacking Medusa in order to annoy Athena. That's a modern interpretation of the story based on a 19th century headcanon from the first guy who called Medusa a Priestess In Greek Mythology she was a gorgon since birth
