Medusa Research Paper

365 Words2 Pages

I researched Medusa, the horrifying female figure that had snakes as hair! Medusa was called a Gorgon. She was not a friendly creature, who could turn those who looked into her eyes straight into stone at that moment. She had 2 sisters, one named Stheno, and the other Euryale. No body would dare to go near these creatures, because they're lives were at risk if they did. Medusa was a very territorial creature who liked her space away from other creatures and beings, and would rage if messed with. Most would only see her face before turning to stone, so her body was said to be in many other forms. It was said that she had a snake like body, probably because the snakes in her hair, but others believed that she had a normal human body.
