Althought it is not sure who are Medusa's parents, it is most commonly known that Medusa is borned between Porchy, god of seas, and Ceto, hideous aquatic monste. Medusa is a demi-human monster; once a beautiful maid but turned into a monster after being physically harassed by posideon Zeus' brother in Athena's temple. For violating Athena's sacred temple, Athena turned Medusa's beautiful hair into snakes, and she gave Medusa a power to turn any mortals into rocks when they look at Medusa. Medusa had three Gordon sisters Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale. Perseus had to kill Medusa to save his mother from King Polydectes. Athena and Hermes helped Perseus by lending him magic winged sandals, a cap, a pouch and a mirror-like shield. By using mirror-like shield and reflecting the image of Medusa, Perseus turned Medusa into rock. With Medusa's head, he saved his his mother.
