Medusa Was Never a Monster | Greek Mythology

She was the most beautiful woman in Greece. Then a god took what she never gave, and a goddess punished her for it. This is the story of Medusa as the Roman poet Ovid told it: the mortal woman behind the snakes, the curse that turned her gaze to stone, the hero Perseus who never once looked at her, and the winged horse that was born from her death.
