Athena transforms Medusa
There is no indication in the Medusa myth as to whether Athena transformed the beautiful Medusa into a monster out of anger or protection. The fact is that Medusa and Poseidon indulged in lovemaking. Athena caught the lovers in the temple. It remains unclear whether Medusa fled into the temple to escape possible attacks by Poseidon. Athena was so furious about the incident that she transformed Medusa into a monster with snake hair, scaly armor, bloodshot eyes, a wild look and a tongue hanging out. Men who merely looked at Medusa now froze to stone. With a gleaming shield, Perseus managed to decapitate Medusa. He stowed the head in the sack he had brought with him. Perseus then skillfully used this head in a number of battles, turning his opponents to stone.
The power of Medusa for self-protection
To this day, women are fascinated by the transformation and characteristics of Medusa. Many consider her self-confident demeanor in the face of hostility to be her personal martial art. Consider with your students what role is expected of women in society, when women speak of attacks and how they should be dealt with.
