everyone thinks she’s evil but when u look it this way it shows a kind and loving girl who was forced to become the killer

@@kimseokjin2435 in this version he did in the original greek they consented

there are different versions, I believe there’s another where Athena wasnt blaming her, but trying to give her the means to protect herself

There's maybe more to it...

JUST BECAUSE YOUR SMART DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SEE OTHER PEOPLE'S REAL THOUGHTS UGH

Too smart for her own good

She also had the temper of Zeus since he was her Father, Wisdom & Temper one will always overpower the other…

actually athena couldn't anything because of her lower rank to poseidon

Athena was a short tempered and flawed. Medusa should have been the goddess.

There's a line when the narrator said "and she felt sorry, to have enforced a cruel, irreversible punishment on the girl."

Gods are all useless and crooked

Nowadays? How young are you? This was much much worst in the past, nowadays is quite good I'd say

i mean she aided in medusa’s death so

ironic that she’s the goddess of wisdom. I heard pride however is her biggest weakness so some of her decisions are ludicrous to say the least

Yeah. Hades was actually a chill dude. He did the job he did and went back home to eat dinner with his wife everyday and treated Curberus well.

@@-dontmindme-9301 hades actually love Persephone and doesn’t have many girls like Zeus and he was only doing his job

@@insensitivity2471 In one version of the story of Hades and Persephone, Hades was just a lonely dude with lacking social skills. Not a bad fellow, just sinister looking with a sinister job and not enough Life in his existence to grant him the social graces to not be seen as something of a villainous individual. I liked that version, even if it was a kid's version...

and people think thanatos is evil even though he isnt he just does his job

I think its because Athena saw it as a chance to give herself a good reason to get rid of Medusa so that the attention that Medusa was unwittingly attracting to herself more so than to Athena would all go back to her. But then Athena realized later on when Medusa resumed doing the rituals to honor Athena despite no one being around who could see her doing it after finding the ruins of one of the old Athena temples that Medusa hadn’t become one of her priestesses for attention and started to feel bad. Doesn’t even come close to justifying it in fact in my opinion I think it makes it even more infuriating.

This isn't the original story. Medusa wasn't a human, she was a mermaid born with the snake hair

@@lollhops._.1690 It's maybe another version there's lot of versions and we just can't tell which is the original one

This version of the myth is not the Greek one but made by a roman, in the Greek story she was already a Gorgon, and in another version which I apologize cause I don't know if it's Greek or roman, but Athena transformed her to protect her of any man, later on realizing that it was more of a punishment she killed her and honored her putting Medusa on her shield.

Fr

ladynikkie you know this isn’t real right?

Exactly, in the story it was Poseidon who is in the wrong, as well as Athena for not standing up for Medusa.

Greek Mythology is a nutshell -.- Don't get me wrong, there are some cool stuff in it, but this pantheon is just messed up and always blames and punishes the victims.

The people always pay the price

The author hated Athena so it tells you more about him than her, besides he’s Roman so this would be Minerva we are talking abut

@@MM-mx2zt Oh drop the modern drama on Greek Drama.

@@Dusxio she did that so she would be protected and no one dares to approach her the story is being told wrong she did not turn her as a punishment but as a mean to protect her from other men

Alice Bella36 lol Poseidon a king for that one

This isn't accurate. Ovid, a Roman poet, made this story up. Before his book Metamorphosis was published, Medusa was a gorgon from birth till death. She got busy with Poseidon in Athenas temple and she g.j ot punished for it. Before Ovid this never happened.

@@xineraliouse9848 it wil. Be classic

@@robynsegg exactly!

This version of the story was written by the Roman poet Ovid who had major authority issues. Older stories had Medusa born a monster

she was a born monster in the original greek sources

Cause she's a god just for name!

Maybe because she hated her

Maybe she was somewhere and busy doing something, we don't know🤷‍♂️lol

Because it’s a modern retelling and not the original story.

it was actually cuz she was jealous and wanted an excuse to destroy medusa. this retelling doesn't show Athenas actual feelings and all. She was never sorry or anything.

Two things come to mind here: Posiden still didnt get punished Athena was short sighted

Cool so she protected her by cursing her to live alone as a monster then got her killed, what a feminist icon.

Imagine people unironically thinking that making someone a monster and forcing them to live in desolation is the best possible option for this scenario.

1) this protection version doesn't exist in Greek Mythology 2) Medusa was NEVER described as a Priestess in any myth

Protection!!! It's a fate worse than death. A horrible goddess, so opposite to what a goddess should be .

Not sure about that theory Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 46 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "It is affirmed by some that Medousa was beheaded because of Athena, for they say the Gorgon had been willing to be compared with Athena in beauty."

Your first mistake is taking this from a movie, movies want drama so they take different versions of the myth and also look at all the versions

@@robloxgaming2346 which is why I am loving KZfaq and the internet. All these versions I didn’t know existed 🤯

Well at least you understand

She did feel honored, and she also felt horrible for acting so rashly toward the priestess. That's why she put Medusa's head in her shield, so that she would never be forgotten.

Was there a story on Medusa? Do you remember the name?

And this stuff happens in real life too. :(

Many people have had many debates on that topic.

Medusa suffered anyways😑

I think that is the original story

We cant really know whether or not something is the original Story, but we do know that the Interpretation you mentioned is the oldest one we have today. The image of Medusa getting punished was brought to us when the ancient times got their rebirth in the renaissance, because even in the early renaissance man were still perfect, so the girl must be the one in the wrong - punished.

@@niklashannemann8482 youre half right, the real story is basically the one where medusa was born a gorgon along with her sisters, the difference though was that she was born a Mortal, as the Gorgons, Being a descendant of The great Beast Typhon and Echidna, shouldn't be Mortal, however she is, the story yall are talking about was Ovid's story of the Gorgon, which came many years after Hesiods, Ovid made that version as sacrilege towards the gods, hence the absurdity of Athena. and as history has stated, Ovid for some weird reason hated the Gods of Olympus for some unknown reason, as most of the stories hes written tend to be sacrilege against Olympus.
