The Gorgons (episode 3) - Medusa, the Queen | The Story of Medusa | The Gorgons of Greek Mythology

[@themythologymanifest1170]

Medusa didn't deserve the torture she went through. She was cursed by Athena be it protection or otherwise but it paused her pregenancy. She went into hiding so as not to hurt anyone. And yet she still ended up surrounded by the statues of men who tried to kill her because of how she looked. She literally spent her life heavily pregnant and scared for her life running until she was killed. She is the victim of her story.

That is only 1 version of the story as there are more than 1. While that version brings out our inner compassion, I think it’s also good to take into account the possibility that the other versions may have been true if you are trying to figure out which is closer to the truth of Greek mythology instead of listening to them more as stories 🙂
