Medusa- also referred as the creepy lady, not like
these creepy ladies(??)
In short, according to the Greek mythology, in
second half, she is having a bitchy character of I am the most beautiful blonde
which is neither accepted nor appreciated among the other blonds.
She is one of the priestess in the temple of the goddess
Athena (goddess of war and strategy). The priestess in those days needs to play
by the rules of the respective gods. Being virgin and never fall in love are
most important one. If the priestess tries to break them, they will go
fricking
crazy and the resultant curses will cost more than the life.
This Medusa took those vows quite seriously for a
long time. She stays in the temple all day and night to do the daily chores by
keeping it clean for the fellow visitors and arranging the pujas for the kings
or queens if required. Not the belly dance stuff and all and not like our
modern day babas. They are divine and dedicated their life to this. In short
the temple is the home for the priestess.
But one fine day, while she went out to collect
something, she saw this dude Poseidon, God of sea and she felt the vibe there
itself that ‘he is the one’. But somehow she managed to throw these feelings
away and continued with her activities. But Poseidon coudnt leave a beauty like
medusa and he wants to try his luck with her. So, he tried all the heroic and
flirty funky monkey faces but he somehow failed to get her.
And after an endless research on ‘how to get women’,
finally he got the myth and started praising her beauty whenever he got the
chance. And with all these monstrous trails, he finally got her and Medusa gave
a “love you too” kiss.
As days passed by, they went out on more and more
dates, with his levels of praising she started walking on clouds..!!! She felt
that no beauty in the world can beat her and even wanted her name and statue as
Goddess of beauty which is quite impossible coz of the tough competitor Venus.
Few days later, she became so irresistible to him because of him charm and
gradually forgot about her vows as the priestess and gave her “v” card to Poseidon
in the temple itself as there were no exotic resorts in those days to the
normal people.
After getting this news from other “mean chicks”,
Athena became furious on Medusa and cursed her beauty in such a way that every
men should fear to get a simple glance at her and she turned her blond hair
into poisonous snakes and any men who look into her eyes will turn into stone.
And the men who felt her beauty as golden earlier
are now afraid to look into her. Medusa felt bad, embarrassed and slowly she
started hating everyone. She thought that Poseidon had made her life miserable
and she hates all men in the end. She
ran towards the African forests (a story that some of the snakes fell down from
her in African forests which is the source for the present numerous venomous
snakes) and hid in the temple turning every men into stones who came by.
I don’t want to be judgmental here but I am trying
to put a lil more blame on one person and who that person can be?
Athena- This lady should have forgiven Medusa with a
simple punishment of ten to fifty big big pujas.. Instead took a cruel decision of spoiling a
women’s beauty and indirectly many mortal men’s life.
Medusa- Forgot her own rituals and carried out with
the new ecstatic encounters which turned her life in unpredictable ways..
Poseidon- No comments please..!!!!
