Medusa was originally a beautiful young woman and a wortshipper of Athena.
But Poseidon the "Lord of the Sea" see her and ravished her.
Athena was outraged at her sacred temple being violated, and punished Medusa by turning her beautiful tresses into snakes and giving her the destructive power to turn anyone who looked directly at her into stone.

Enjoy, comments are welcome :)

I usually credit the artists who make the content that I use but I have forgot to do this time.

Thank you for repairing this mistake.

By the way; the lighting, poses, composition and other props are mine :D

Yes, I wanted to show medusa more as a victim than the usual monster. Thank you for your encouraging comment :)

Nice touch making Medusa regretful. Unlike most adaptations, she has a bit of her humanity in this.
