Perseus was a hero in Greek mythology tasked with slaying the Gorgon Medusa, who could turn anyone who looked at her into stone. With the help of the gods Athena and Hermes, Perseus was given a mirrored shield to avoid looking directly at Medusa. He ultimately beheaded her while she slept. Perseus later used Medusa's head as a weapon in his further adventures.
The hero that cut off Medusa's head was named Perseus. Who then gave the head to Athena.
No, Medusa is from Greek mythology.
Medusa was not a hero- her actions were motivated by the fact that she was a monster.
If you're talking about Perseus and the Gorgon's head, than it's Perseus. If you're talking about the story about who Medusa got her snake hair, then it's just Poseidon, Medusa and Athena.
I should probably put the story here, or else my answer won't make sense. The story of Medusa: Medusa used to be a beautiful girl. She was a girlfriend of Poseidon, the God of The Seas. One day, Medusa and Poseidon were making out on the floor of one of Athena's temples. Athena realised what was happening, and got mad. She turned Medusa's lovely curls into writhing little snakes, and put a curse on Medusa: whoever looked at Medusa in the eyes will turn into stone. Therefore, Athena turned Medusa into a Gorgon. The explanation: um...never mess with a goddess??
Well, the story goes, that when Persues had slain Medusa, Pegasus sprang out of Medusa's severed neck. It must have something to do with that.

The situational archetype of "The Journey" could be argued as not fully represented in the story of Perseus. While Perseus undertakes a journey to defeat Medusa and accomplish other tasks, his overall story focuses more on his quest for personal growth and heroism rather than the traditional hero's journey archetype with distinct stages and challenges.
Medusa is the monster slain by Perseus, the oldest of the Greek heroes.
