What was the mythology story of Medusa?
Medusa was once a beautiful women. She said she was more beautiful than Athena. Poseiden saw her and fell in love with her. They met up at Athena's Temple and had intercourse.

Athena also turned Medusa's sisters into ugly monsters too. Athena made Medusa so ugly that any mortal that looked at her, turned to stone. Well, one day a guy named Perseus had a wife and a god threatened to feed her to the kraken(a sea monster). Perseus needed to kill medusa in order to kill the kraken. so the gods helped perseus by giving him armor. when Perseus was walking in the woods, he suddenly saw Medusa and he lifted his armor up that the armor was so bright that Medusa saw her reflection and was turned to stone. So perseus killed medusa and killed the kraken and him and his wife got married,and they lived happily ever after. butthats not all the story for more information go to www.mythse2nb.org BRILLIANT SITE Actually your story is almost correct. Poseidon took Medusa in Athena's temple, Medusa begged for Athena's comfort but she refused because of how beautiful Medusa was. She turned Medusa into a disgusting creature so no man would ever look at her again without being turned to stone. Perseus the son of Zeus was chosen to kill the Kraken, how he had to do this was go to Medusa's lair, which only men could enter. He cut off her head which he used to turn the Kraken into stone, being that the Kraken had no weakness.. The Kraken was the own blood of Haities, god of the underworld.
