Medusa is one of the most famous and well-known moster in mythology. Medusa is a Gorgon monster. She had a snake hair with wings. Because of her ugly feature, she turned everyone into stones. She lived in a far North where nobody really knew the exact location. However, Medusa was not a horrible looking monster. She was once a beatiful woman. Medusa and her two sisters were Gorgons and was born to Gaia and Okeanos. The two sisters were born into Gorgons but Medusa was a beautiful woman unlike her sisters. Medusa copulated with Poseidon the god of ocean in the temple of Athena. And she had also insulted Athena that she was more beautiful than her. So Athena got displeased and then cursed Medusa into a ugly monster. She was killed by Perseus. Perseus was ordered by a king because of the king's tempt to destroy Perseus. Perseus the son of Zeus was given weapons such as Hermes' winged sandal, Hades' invisible helmet, Ares' sword that could cut anything, Hera's magic bag that could be put any sizes, and Athena's shield that could reflect Medusa's head without actually seeing her.

Well, anyways Medusa was a monster who destoryed so many people by turning into stones. She was referred as fear from everyone.
