Description
The story of Medusa basically goes that she was so beautiful she even rivalled the goddess Athena. So beautiful that she attracted the attentions of the God of the sea, Poseidon. Medusa refused his advances, so he brutally raped her in the temple of Athena. Medusa prayed to Athena for help, but all Athena felt was disgust and she transformed her into a hideous monster. Medusa ran away from home after seeing the monster she had become and as her rage grew, even a single glance in her eyes would turn a man to stone. No man could harm her now.
Medusa has always been my fav character from Greek mythology, from the days of the plasticine Jason and the Argonauts to learning how she was transformed and feeling such pity for the character. I wanted to show disbelief at her transformation. The quiet before the storm of realisation.

Hi. I like your artwork. You must read Lauren J. A. Bear's debut novel, Medusa's Sisters (https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=Ne6aEAAAQBAJ), and listen to the unabridged narration by Zura Johnson and Taylor Harvey (https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details?id=AQAAAEBC7VqtCM). The Greek mythology-inspired novel is told from Stheno's and Euryale's points of view, showing readers the events in the sisters' lives, from their difficult childhood, the cruelty Poseidon and Athena subject poor Medusa to, the three sisters' transformation into Gorgons, and the aftermath of Medusa's death. Trust me, you'll be so emotionally affected by the plot that you'll never read the Greek myths same way ever again. You're welcome.🐍🐍🐍
