Medusa is a figure from Greek mythology, known for her snake-like hair and ability to turn people to stone with a gaze of her eyes, piercing at her victims she can turn any man into stone. Medusa is the most beautiful woman among the Olympians, she was desired and her beauty couldn't compare to any of the Goddesses which created jealousy among many women. Medusa was once a mortal woman with the perfect body and face of perfection. Poseiden was captured by her beauty and wanted her, but she ignored his many advances one day Poseidon noticed Medusa alone in Athena's temple he approached her and forced himself on Medusa, a fight with Poseidon broke out but he tears her dress, raping Medusa violently on the temple floor. She screams for help but no one comes. Poseidon pulsates his member inside Medusa with deep hard thrusts ejaculating his sperm in hopes of impregnating her. He later walks off leaving her to cry after his brutal attack. Medusa later finds Athena and confides in her what Poseidon did seeking solace and comfort, instead, Athena betrays Medusa and curses her body and soul as the Queen snake venomous and deadly alone for all eternity in the catacombs of Belial depths waiting for any man to cross her. Medusa is now damned and now all men will pay for the rape and betrayal of Medusa. No women are allowed in the catacombs where Medusa sleeps and conjures her victims, only men are allowed.
There is the son of Zeus, Perseus who must fight the Kraken, which is the child of Hades a challenge that will determine the fate of Perseus. Yet Perseus needs to understand how to take on this great task. It is because Perseus wishes to marry the hand of Andromeda and he can only do that by killing the Kracken and decapitating the head of Medusa. Perseus now understands he must visit the three blind witches to seek an answer to defeat the Kraken. Perseus travels on and the witches reveal, to the son of Zeus you must kill Medusa and take her head and hold it up to the Kracken, and the eyes of Medusa will turn the Kraken to stone and be destroyed forever. The Olympians ruled these realms for eons and are Gods of this universe that could never be destroyed. As Perseus moved forward on his quest he was given great gifts from the Gods to help in his conquests with Medusa. A shield was the most valuable as he captured Medusa's reflection in its mirror with this Perseus decapitated the Venomous snake Queen. The sword was the tool to rip through her alligator skin tearing her head clean off from the neck and rolling onto the floor. A helmet so invincible was the disguise Perseus could wear on his head to walk into the catacombs of the deadly snake Queen without being seen.
Medusa is one of my favorite archetypes, her story is of passion, violence, and romance in a gothic fashion. What brings her villain character to life is the punishment of Athena and her sorrow is being raped by Poseidon. If this never happened Greek mythology could never tell such a story. Never mind the era, life must have its set of villains and Gods. Medusa is ruthless and violent, angry, and demoness. Her wickedness captivates an understanding of the need to protect herself from further rage against her womaness. Yet Medusa had a painful ending but was needed to fulfill a large purpose of destruction. That destruction of the Kraken couldn't be helped to save the people and city which served a greater cause her beauty was the envy of all other women, but her curse and death were not in vane, Medusa is a hero to a larger decree for man to continue on and yet her life, curse, and death has created a Serpent Queen that will always be loved.
