yes
No, they stayed stone. Even after her own death her gaze had the power to turn people to stone and her head was used as a weapon by Perseus.
Perseus turned the sea monster, Cetus, into stone when he showed him the head of Medusa as he was flying over Ethiopia on his way back home.
the king wanted to marry his mother, but he couldnt because of perseus,so the king sent him on a quest to cut off medusa's head and bring it back to him to get him out of the way because the king thought he would never make it back. well, he did with the head and he opened the eyes of medusa and turned the king to stone. ( thats a short version of the story,less detail )
Unfortunately, once Hercules is turned to stone by Medusa, he stays like that unless you restart the island. But don't worry; you have the materials you need to battle Zeus on your own!
The so called Roman Medusa is a later version of the Greek myth written by the poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses. In the original myth, Perseus' killing of Medusa was just an episode in the tales of this hero and was not given in great detail. We are just told that Perseus was sent to kill Medusa, the only mortal gorgon (three monster sisters) who turned people into stone with her eyes. Athena gave him a reflective shield which he used to reflect back Medusa's look and turn her into stone. He beheaded her and gave her head to Athena. Ovid added detail to the myth. Ovid accounts for Medusa's mortality by saying that originally she was a very beautiful woman. The god Poseidon (Triton) raped her in Athena's temple. An angry Athena turned her hair into snakes and made her face so ugly that the sight of it would turn people into stone. Ovid also had Perseus flying over northwest Africa and use Medusa's head to turn the Titan Atlas, who tried to attack him, into stone. The coral of the Red Sea was formed by Medusa's blood when it spilled in the water when Perseus put down her head by the shore while he briefly went to Ethiopia to save princess Andromeda, whom he married.
The story of Perseus and Medusa involves him passing a coastal city plagued by a vicious seamonster called Cetus on his way back from killing Medusa. The people were sacrificing Andromeda (who Perseus fell in love with) to Cetus because it was ruining their lives and they were trying to placate it. Perseus showed Cetus Medusa's head and Cetus turned to stone. He then took Andromeda with him on his journey home and later married her. Cassiopeia was the mother of Andromeda. Cepheus, Andromeda's father, is also a constellation, as is Andromeda (chained to a rock).
Going off the Greek myth, where Medusa's slain? A shiny shield sent by Apollo or Athena, i forget which. Going back in her lifetime, making out with a god in Aphrodite's temple was possibly a bad move too.
I kept my nose in my book throughout the three- hour detention, knowing the Medusa at the desk in the front of the room would turn me to stone if I so much as looked up.After being caught in the rainstorm, I looked in the mirror and was horrified to see Medusa staring back at me.
Medusa's job was that she killed people if you looked at her head, eyes, or snake heads. you would turn to stone and be frozen until someone kills her. Perseus was the one who killed her, so everyone came back to life!! yeyy!!
Percy gets back at Gabe by taking Medusa's head and giving it to his mom. His mom shows it to Gabe and he turns to stone. But in the movie, Percy locks it in the fridge with a note saying "Don't open this fridge no matter what!". Gabe breaks the lock and he looks in the fridge and Medusa's in it and he turns to stone.
The stone statues in the novel "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" were originally created by the White Witch as a form of punishment. Anyone who defied her was turned into stone. Aslan, the lion, later breathed life back into them, freeing them from their stone form.
Perseus was sent to slay Medusa and bring back her head.
