Mythological Background

According to ancient myths, Medusa was not always a fearsome creature. Early legends describe her as a beautiful sea maiden whose fate was dramatically altered by the gods. Transformed by Athena, Medusa became a winged Gorgon with the power to turn living beings to stone with her gaze.

The Gorgons — Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa — were daughters of the sea deities Phorcys and Ceto. Unlike her immortal sisters, Medusa was mortal, which later made her central to heroic legends and artistic interpretations throughout history.
