0:00 0:00
Transcript
Medusa, one of Greek mythology's most iconic figures, was originally a beautiful maiden and priestess admired for her radiant beauty [1][4].
Her beauty attracted Poseidon, and in Athena’s sacred temple she suffered a tragic violation that marked a turning point in her life [4][6].
In response, Athena cursed Medusa, transforming her flowing hair into writhing snakes and giving her a gaze that turned onlookers to stone [1][8].
Thus, Medusa endures as a powerful symbol of monstrous terror and tragic victimhood, her legend echoing through art and history [5][7].
