Poor Medusa. Condemned and pursued for being a victim.
Very contemporary story.
Beauty : Death at first sight
There’s a beautiful video by Schwerpunkt called “The way where the fire of death blazes” that explains at length the traditional religious meaning of such figure within the role of divine transfiguration. Worth a watch
See, the radical leftist loons, even had pronouns back then, to call their false female gods, myth!
Thats me lol.
I once saw a women with that hairstyle.
What, no Kraken?
Athena should have cursed Posedian not Medusa…who curse her.
According to ancient astronaut theorists, Medusa may have been a scientific weapon of some kind. Yes I agree. 😌
This was kinda cool…
Some ancient armies used women, maybe nude or whatever, as warriors and/or distractions and de-motivators anger-sapping mess with they heads. It’s disconcerting tactic
Moses or Musa as one of two real “Moses” was known, used snake mysticism as part of his bs
Not true
Medusa is a god of the devil 😮
Hillary ?
The closest thing we have to medusa in modern times is Snoop Dog, just look at him once in his presence and your stoned.
Interesting myth.
I read a KGB account of a UFO in the 1950s.
Soviets shot it down, aliens got out and turned the Russians soldiers into poles of limestone.
We can’t pretend to understand why their myths are as twisted as they are. It is hard to look at antiquity through modern lenses without judgement, obviously
The logic and the cruelty of the ancient Gods will never be forgotten, just the same as their heros and their victims.…
Thank you for the update, HISTORY..!! Medusa has the saddest story of all..
Wish they would show the full episodes 😔
Well Athena didn’t curse Medusa, she blessed her so no man could do that to her again.
it is one of those reptilians who are said to inhabit space, underground civilization and forests
GOW😅Medusa
Feminist propaganda hiding behind mythology…
This is actually Medusa’s Roman origin by Ovid, in Greek Mythology she was a Gorgon from birth.
Medussa is devil
She was tricked by a man and cursed by a women… everyone failed her 😢
The myths are figurative, the storytelling of literal people doesnt make sense.
No matter how strong or dangerous the enemy is.
Humans will always be on the top. 💪🧠
If this was true how were the snakes fed?
This is not the real Greek myth! This is Ovids story. In Greek mythology Medusa was always a monster, never a beautiful maiden. And of course she was never raped and unjustifiable published!
Very wonderful woman, and great story.
Athena jealous to the beauty of medusa.. Thats why she become monster
Medusa is a Nephilim.
Couldnt medusa literally slide to any village and close her eyes screaming kill me, and wait for an angry mob
Ok.
Whos this pansy scared of a woman 😂😂😂
She used Versace family to get her brand and has special glasses and special lenses these days so that not every man turns into stone and lives largely in Turkey and Italy.
So she was raped and the caused by a god? The Greek gods were stupid.
