Medusa, why was she finally turned into a snake demon?

Medusa, a famous banshee in Greek mythology, is an abominable gorgon, but her original face is a beautiful woman. What did she do, from a lovely beauty to a banshee that men dare not look at?

How did Athena, the goddess of wisdom, destroy a mortal girl, Medusa? Beauty is original sin.

Medusa, the name sounds beautiful, but in fact Medusa was originally a beautiful girl with incredible beauty. Beauty is the original sin? If this theorem is correct, then Medusa was born with original sin. From the myth, we whitewashed Medusa, a beautiful woman with snake hair. In fact, this is a beautiful girl, with enviable and hateful beauty, and finally humiliated by Poseidon, the sea god. This incident angered Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who thought Medusa was the original sin and punished her. What did Medusa do wrong? Not only was he humiliated by the male god, but he was also turned into a banshee by the goddess, and he was also cursed by the most cruel.

PS: The well-known logo of Azhe brand is the head of Medusa, which represents a fatal attraction. On the other hand, it also reflects everyone's sympathy and admiration for the beauty of ancient Greece.

When you mention Medusa, you may think of her green face and fangs, covered with scales, but her hair is covered with poisonous snakes, but Medusa was not born like this. This is the story of a wicked woman. Medusa's father is a little sea god, and Medusa has three sisters. Her two sisters are immortals, and only she can't live forever. They live on the other side of Osinos, at the intersection of dark places. Medusa is the priestess of Athena Temple. Her beauty makes women envy and men covet.

Legend has it that Poseidon took a fancy to Medusa, fell in love with her at first sight and was deeply attracted by her. Poseidon cheated Medusa with tricks, and Medusa fled to the temple of Athena for refuge, but Poseidon was "insulted". Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was furious and did such a nasty thing in her temple. Isn't this a clear blasphemy against Athena's god? In fact, Medusa's beauty has already caused Athena's dissatisfaction. But Poseidon is Poseidon, the elder brother of Zeus, and Athena should be called Uncle Poseidon, with a bad temper and ability. If Athena can't punish Poseidon, Medusa will be in trouble. She directly turned the beautiful Medusa into a terrible gorgon. And put a curse on her, any man who sees her eyes will instantly petrify and turn to stone.

This classic myth has also been recorded by the brushes of countless artists. Caravaggio's Medusa shows the classic scene of Medusa's head cut off by Poerxiusi, and the tragedy behind it.

Athena also sent Poerxiusi, the son of Zeus, to kill Medusa. Poerxiusi cut off Medusa's head with Athena's shield. In the blood of Medusa, Pegasus and Chrysaor were born. This is Poseidon and Medusa's child. Although Medusa is dead, her head still has the function of fossilization. Poerxiusi dedicated Medusa's head to Athena and embedded it in Athena's shield. The power of the shield can be imagined!

Medusa is the victim of the whole story. Her only shortcoming is that she is too beautiful, but she is a mortal. Humiliated by Poseidon and cursed by the goddess of wisdom, as a mortal beauty, she has no pity. Beauty is original sin.
