For other uses, see Medusa (disambiguation).
In Greek mythology, Medusa (; Ancient Greek: Μέδουσα, romanized: Médousa, lit. 'guardian, protectress'),[a] also called Gorgo (Ancient Greek: Γοργώ)[b] or the Gorgon, was one of the three Gorgons.
Why was medusa cursed
Medusa is generally described as a woman with living snakes in place of hair; her appearance was so hideous that anyone who looked upon her was turned to stone.[4] Medusa and her Gorgon sisters Euryale and Stheno were usually described as daughters of Phorcys and Ceto; of the three, only Medusa was mortal.
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who then used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon[5] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield.
In classical antiquity, the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
