For our second Greek Mythology creature spotlight, we will focus on Medusa. Perhaps you have heard of Medusa or seen a picture of her. As you can clearly see in the picture above, Medusa is very ugly with snakes for her. Medusa is so ugly, that simply looking at her would cause one to turn to stone. It may seem simple, just don't look at her and everything will be fine. However, the ancient Greeks could not resist looking at her because of the snakes coming out of her head. The temptation proved too hard to resist and people looked, then turned to stone. Medusa was not always ugly. In fact, she used to be very beautiful. Here is what happened: Medusa was one of three sisters known as the Gorgons. Medusa was the only mortal sister and very beautiful. She lived in a place in the far north that the sun never visited. She longed to see the sun, so she asked Athena if she could visit the south and see the sun. Athena refused Medusa's request. This angered Medusa, who lashed out and said that the only reason Athena refused her request is because Medusa was more beautiful than Athena. This, in return, angered Athena, who used her powers to change Medusa's hair into snakes and cause her to be so ugly just the sight of her would turn you to stone. Will the main character in the I Series be able to overcome the temptation? Or will he turn to stone like the rest?
