In Greek mythology, [[Medusa]] (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Ancient Greek: [[Μέδουσα]] "[[guardian]], [[protectress]]") also called [[Gorgo]], was one of the three [[monstrous]] [[Gorgon]]s, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto. | |||
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero [[Perseus]], who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion. | |||
According to [[Hesiod]] and [[Aeschylus]], she lived and died on an island named [[Sarpedon]], somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in [[Libya]], where [[Herodotus]] had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion. | |||
