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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've always wondered why the gods of the ancient world were never better then the people they ruled.

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

Posideon hated Athena, and Athena hated him he used Medusa to get at Athena because he couldn't harm her because she was Zeus favorite child, and Athena couldn't touch him so she hurt her.

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

Briefed. Great video guy, now I want to watch CLASH OF THE TITANS. Beyond imagination. Do you remember that tagline? By the way, how did you like the videos I suggested? I look forward to your Herakles video. He was a berserker. His lion skin made him invulnerable and like Thor he used a blunt weapon. You should include these points in the video.

Herakles and Thor do have a lot in common: the most famous sons of the God King, big and strong, preference for blunt weapons, a kink for killing giant stuff and so on…

@@FarazKhan-dr5ow It would be awesome if Herakles was a redhead too. He did have a firey temper. Herakles was a strongman who used a bow, like Thor throwing lightening.

During the 12 labors there's the whole thing between heracles and atlas too. Does homie become unpetrified or is it one of those multiverse variations where he didn't get turned to stone by perseus?
@Briefed_Mythology10 ай бұрын
multiverse variation. for herakles purposes atlas just was never turned into stone.
