The king of the land in which Perseus lived, Polydectes, held a festival at which he asked each person attending to being a horse, knowing that Perseus and his mother were poor and didn't have any horses. Upon arriving, Perseus apologized and offered the king any gift he wished, in replacement. Seeing his chance to be rid of Perseus (to gain access to his mother, Danaa), Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal Gorgon Medusa. The idea being that MEdusa had already killed countless heroes, and that Perseus would just be another statue.

Medusa was not a criminal. She was a monster. The only people she ever associated with were her sisters, Stheno and Euryale.

Perseus cut her head off by using his shield as a mirror so he wouldn't be turned to stone.

The name Medusa comes from the Greek "Médousa" which meant "guardian, protector". Most names in Greek mythology are related to what the person or story was about.

Poseidon wanted to have carnal relations with Medusa but Medusa was a priestess in the temple of Athena, a maiden god. As such, all of her priestess were also expected to be maidens. Poseidon disregarded this and raped Medusa within the temple walls. Athena was infuriated but could not take her vengeance on Poseidon so instead she turned Medusa into a gorgon. Medusa was essentially punished for being raped.

Medusa the Gorgon was not real. She was never in a city, even in the myth, so no current city can lay claim to being hers.

Perseus cut off medusa's head by using the sheild that Athena gave him to watch the sleeping medusa and then he cut her head off with a sword.

Ceto is the mother of Medusa her father said to be Gorgo or Phorcys.

The head of Medusa is carved in the Temple of Artemis as a protective symbol, believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. In ancient Greek culture, Medusa, a Gorgon with the power to turn people to stone with her gaze, served as a potent emblem of danger and protection. By incorporating her image into sacred architecture, it was thought to invoke her protective qualities, safeguarding the temple and its worshippers. Additionally, the depiction aligns with the themes of transformation and duality often present in Greek mythology.

Medusa was originally a priestess of Athena. But because she allowed herself to be seduced within the Temple by Poseidon, Athena cursed her into her Gorgon form. She had no other duties.

depending on the version of the myth, yes. in these myths he was born from the earth when medusa's blood fell onto it. in other myths pegasus was born straight from medusa's decaptitated body or still others have medusa's blood falling into the ocean, from which pegasus was born. in all these versions he was born with a brother, a giant.

medusa was born on mount olympus and lives on a dark island in greece

No one could tell us. The only people who ever saw what color Medusa's eyes were have been turned into statues. Tough luck.

Medusa was the mortal daughter of Phorcys, the embodyment of the dangers of the sea and the son of Pontus and Gaia, and Keto, the daughter of... Pontus and Gaia, and whose name is the root of the word "Cetacian", which is the family of whales and dolphins.

Beyond that it gets wierder. Pontus was also the son of Gaia, born without father. Gaia herself was born from Khaos, also without aid of a father.

Medusa was turned into a monster after Athena found her consorting with Neptune inside one of her temples. After being made into a monster, she was unable to bear the children of Neptune that she carried: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chrysaor, the golden giant.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon did not have a romantic relationship with Medusa. Instead, Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden who was transformed into a Gorgon by Athena after being cursed for a transgression involving Poseidon. While Poseidon did play a role in her story, their interaction was not one of dating or romance.

Medusa's sisters were immortal and could not die.

Medusa used to be a very beautiful mortal and was the lover of the sea god, Poseidon. They dated at Athena's temple, which was considered unrespectfal at that time, so Athena was angry and turned Medusa into a horrible monster that every time you look at Medusa in the eyes, you turn into stone. So she was a mortal, but very mixed in with the gods. She and her immortal sisters, who had the same power as Medusa had became the three Gorgons.She was slayed by Perseus, the gorgon slayer.

Medusa was a very beautiful mortal many mortal men wanted her and Gods. One night she was walking and Poseidon(in disguised) chases Medusa. Medusa runs into Athena's temple looking for sanctuary,but Poseidon had his way and abused Medusa.Athena(being a virgin Goddess) looked @ it as Medusa should have been able to protect herself and her virginity turned her into a Gorgon so that no man would ever want her again and would turn man to stone when looked into her eyes.(snake body,hair,tongue but human body and arms) Yes you would think that Athena uncle would to be to blame but Athena is a warrior goddess.

gave him flying shoes, an invisible helmet and a sword.

Her hair, because she would be powerless without them.

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.

Medusa was the high priestess of Athena. She was beautiful and was desired by many men.

One day Poseidon, Lord of the sea and earthquakes, took Medusa into Athena's temple and raped her. Athena was furious, for being a priestess of Athena, she had to keep her maidenhood like the goddess. So to make sure this didn't happen again, Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon with snakes for hair and eyes that turn people to stone.
