Abcruz:


It's called Greek "mythology " for a reason.
But biblical encounters are documentary with solid proves.

Shebi solid proof? undecided
Oya prove how Moses divided the sea with his hands.
Prove how Jesus walked on water.
Prove how a man lived in the belle of a fish for three days.
Prove how the moon and sun were stopped.
Prove how a donkey talked.
Prove how angels fell from the sky to have sex with humans.

If you answer these with solid proof, then your statement would be true.

Medusa is a demon inspired character.....

I wonder why some people the only thing they do on Nairaland is that attack Christianity... Oga o
I noticed that too.

You know Nairaland is the only way they feel they can air their views and deep opinions.
These are people who don't want to be told what they do is wrong and a sin as a result they decide to take it out on Christianity

Damnn niggarrr!


I watched "clash of the titans"(1981) but didn't understand much about medusa till i watched "clash of the titans"(2010) before i could decipher what really transpired between Athena, Medusa and Pesaidon.
What I understood in this whole thing is that, Athena could not curse a god rather, vent her anger on a poor mortal,
and it's a crime to be beautiful, even now and then.


Damn nigga

A friend of mine shared this story in his timeline this evening.
Typical of the Nigerian society.
The wealthy escaping justice, pinning crimes on poor, innocent people and getting them punished for crimes they didn't commit with the help of the law enforcement agencies.

There is a reason I'm enamored with Greek mythology, It is still the best written, historically backed myth. Sometimes I can almost think it is real, Homer did a great job.

Anthena must have cursed her because she is envious of medusa's beauty.
Think about it anthena could have done alot of things to her why change her looks?

Imagine a mortal beautiful enough to attract posaidom athena's crush.

Cruel judgement from the so called goddess of wisdom, she is no goddess, thats a demon turning an innocent girl into a demon.

Last last God pass them all.

yes you decided the message.
Athena couldn't curse a member of the top three Olympians, Poseidon,so she cowardly cursed a mortal, innocent girl.
Anyway Medusa had her revenge on the gods when her head was used to destroy the Kraken,the son of Hades whom the Olympians have been using to instil fear on humans.
The death of the Kraken, enlightenment and advance of science,ushered in the end of the rule of the Olympians and the beginning of the age of Man.

Greek mythology. Medusa was regarded as a symbol of beauty, love, innocence, just like every other ladies of today, but was cut short of her glory, just like the rape and killings being committed today

Bumped into this. A good read
Who knows the story of Medusa? Yes that ugly lady with the hair of snakes. The Gorgon who men dared not look at else they turn to stone. Do you know her real story?! Well I'll tell you!

When I was in school, I was given a project titled Myths and Legends. Well naturally I settled for Greek mythology and Medusa hit my interest.

I always thought she was evil and all but this is
the true story.

So Medusa was the most beautiful girl in her town. Her hair shone like gold. All men wanted her but she never gave in. She caught the eye of Poseidon the god of the sea and didn't give him the time of day. Well what did he do? He raped Medusa in Athena's temple. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war.

Now the sad part was Athena was so enraged by what had happened that she cursed Medusa. Not the man who raped her no! Cursed the poor girl who was raped. Turned her into a creature that no man would ever look at again without dying and turned her beautiful hair into snakes.

Now some have claimed that Athena cursed Medusa to protect her but in all my research and even the writings of the poet, the story was consistent.

When I found out the truth behind Medusa, I changed my project and turned it into a tribute called 'Misunderstood'. I recreated her tombstone, changed her garments and created a pendant with her face on it.

Needless to say that was my best project in school and it was on display.

Now to bring it home. Isn't that what happens these days? Both here and abroad? A girl is raped and instead of going for her attackers, you blame her and slut-shame her. Claim she brought it on herald?

When you think of Medusa you think of an ugly Gorgon.

When I think of Medusa I think of a beautiful lonely girl the world failed. Just as the world is failing women today.

Being a lover or both Greek & Roman mythology, i read the popular tale too, but thanksfully to a Cartoon i was able to know this version of yours.

Now, why was she cursed ?
Athena was in Love with poseidon but he loved Medusa who is a Priestess to the godess Athena, she felt it was an insult to her coupled with the fact That Medusa was more beautiful, Athena never liked Medusa since she saw her with poseidon,,, if i remember perfectly, i believe they were in love but because Medusa was a priestess she was not allowed to make love which led to the Rape, Athena took advantage to punish her buy turning her into a Titan, which in return would not allow her leave Athena's Temple
