A jellyfish is named after Medusa from Greek mythology because of its resemblance to her hair, which was said to be made of snakes. The jellyfish's long, flowing tentacles can evoke the image of writhing snakes, embodying the fearsome and captivating qualities associated with Medusa. Additionally, both jellyfish and Medusa share a certain ethereal beauty mixed with danger, making the name fitting.
