Who is "Medusa"?
Medusa is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, known for having snakes instead of hair and the ability to turn anyone who looks directly at her into stone. She was once a beautiful woman but was transformed into a monster by the goddess Athena as punishment. Medusa is one of the three Gorgons, but unlike her sisters, she is mortal. Despite her terrifying appearance, she is often portrayed as a tragic figure. Medusa's image has become a symbol of both danger and protection, representing the duality of beauty and terror in myth.
