In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of the three Gorgon sisters and was cursed by the goddess Athena, transforming her beautiful hair into snakes and making her gaze capable of turning anyone who looked at her to stone. This curse was a punishment for being raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Medusa's story culminates when the hero Perseus beheads her, using her head as a weapon due to its petrifying power. After her death, Medusa's legacy continued to symbolize both danger and protection in various cultural contexts.
