"The Medusa was the daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaea (Earth) and Oceanus (Ocean). She was one of the three sisters known as the Gorgons. The other two sisters were Sthenno and
Euryale. Medusa was the only mortal out of the three.
She was originally a golden-haired and very beautiful maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena,
was devoted to a life of celibacy; but, being wooed by Poseidon, whom
she loved in return, she forgot her vows, and became united to him in
marriage. For this offence she was punished by the goddess in a most
terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair which had so
charmed her husband, was changed into a venomous snake.
Seeing herself thus transformed into so repulsive an object, Medusa fled
from her home, never to return. Wandering about, abhorred, dreaded, and
shunned by all the world, she now developed into a character, worthy of
her outward appearance. In her despair she fled to Africa, where, as
she passed restlessly from place to place, infant snakes dropped from
her hair, and thus, according to the belief of the ancients, that
country became the hotbed of these venomous reptiles. With the curse of
Athene upon her, she turned into stone whomsoever she gazed upon, till
at last, after a life of nameless misery, deliverance came to her in the
shape of death, at the hands of Perseus."
