The Story Of Medusa - Greek Mythology Explained 

I agree 💯

yeah like Joker

True

Except people like Hitler, or in fiction Darth Sidious, who are straight-up villains with actions fueled by hate

Always the way, don’t believe the hype! Always hear the other side!

Young Gravyyy omg I would watch that😆!

Same

I would totally watch that!

Well i want an anime series of Greek mythology :D

Either pure Greek Mythology or a proper Percy Jackson series works for me

How?

Medusa was a gorgon

This interpretation is all wrong, Athena tried to help Medusa by making her undesirable and alone, but unfortunately she couldn’t catch a break and was killed.

@@heyitskira7056 wot

Gods & Goddess were too much in themselves, like some 12 yo arrogant angry kids with rights to shoot anyone they want.

fucked up

Fuck Poseidon!

fuck the gods

And the Greeks praised such gods ,revered and worshipped them.....their heads messed up

I feel like this reflects society lol

@ClandestineOstrich did you watch the video. what are you saying. this is the pure definition of victim blaming. poseidon raped her, just say it.

Because she was a monster, she killed millions of men ( This is a fictional story, so calm down)

@Alain Smith Let me repeat. She. Murdered. Millions. Of. People.

@@mathewsteven they werent innocent people!! why can u not comprehend that. she was protecting herself

​@@heist4420 You're talking with idiots in the RU-vid comment section, calm down, this is just how they are haha

100%

Medusa was a monster since she was born.

Im just straight punch zeus on the face and said. Bring back her to human back!!!!

@@faisfaiz4353 Why Zeus? It was Poseidon...

@@AlexanderMarchesaine Because Zeus had the highest authority to punish both Poseidon & Athena. Zeus could have demanded that Poseidon sacrifice one of his oceanic creatures. Zeus could then have remolded the creature by transferring Medusa's soul into dead vessel of Poseidon's creature. Thus transforming her into Mermaid/Humanoid queen of an aquatic colony. As for the soul of the dead creature. Medusa would birth twins from the soul. Eventually she would mate with various men from the land above. Because she was eager to create a civilizatión. She would remain yourthful & fertile for hundreds of years. Neither Athena or Poseidon were allowed to interfere with her destiny. Because they were restricted by Zeus's mandatory jurisdiction.

@@PazzoScansafatiche Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades could not punish each other. Their powers were as great as each other, they were the three chains that kept pulling on each other so they wouldn't go around and destroy the whole universe. Zeus could not punish Poseidon because it wasn't his place, unless Hades agreed to punish him. Because Hades hated his brothers, he would let them ruin themselves. Besides, this isn't even the original story, it's a rip off from the Romans whom hated Neptune cause they feared the ocean. They also hated Minerva(Athena) because in Greece they loved her but hated Mars(Ares) whom the Roman's loved and adored. So in retaliation that Greece had given Ares a bad reputation, they decided to give Poseidon and Athena a bad one as well.

@@AlexanderMarchesaine hades never hated his brother all the stuff you said isn't accurate or true. Hades was the most chillest god

Yes! All the yes!!

PREAAACH

Lexa the Victors are always the ones who write the story, even if they them selves where the villain, they will always be the victors of their own story

Lexa Indeed 100%

Yesssss

Medusa is a villian , she's not victim

Like every day life reflects how stupid humans act as a mob when judging others.

Sapphire Rose I love Medusa too she's my favorite mythical creature she's absolutely fascinating

She was a very beautiful woman priestess οf Athena and like the godess she had a vow of virginity. Many men wanted her, but she declined them all. Poseidon always hostile towards Athena because she got to name the city of Athens and overwelmed from her beauty raped her in the sanctuary and Athena not wanted to fight Poseidon, erupt over the poor woman transforming her. Even after the curse, she couldnt find peace because rumors over the power of her choped head spread out over the ancient Greek world. Warriors seeking power and glory, keep invading her cave/home, trying to kill her. She is the real victim here!

What is this a @MeToo session?

Lalvon Zelpharr no it's Greek Mythology lmao

TRUE

Watch Atlanta

Same thought.... Just like how Disney gives maleficent a chance 😭😭😭

That's true

@Pancho Pancho well in the little mermaid they did give him a castle of dicks🤷🏼‍♀️😂

This isn’t a gift.. that is nothing but EVIL. She cannot have her family nor friends or loved ones around her because she will turn them into stone.. That isn’t a damn gift at all. That’s a curse .

@@marvelfamily3166 Well that's assuming that she can't control it. Perhaps her power is actually within her control

Athena was jealous because Medusa was Gorgeous.

That is still debatable but the fact that Athena did not do anything to help Medusa who was raped right in front of her statue and that too in the temple shows the real nature of Athena

But Athena later sends Perseus to kill her...

Wow!....that would be a gr8 story!

This is literally the character i've been thinking of lately, glad to see i'm not the first one to think of the concept

@@OlTimeyChara Perhaps we should be novelists lol

Blue Bliss my sentiments exactly

She turned Villian but who can be good if cursed so ugly like that. I got a feeling this may be early history before the lessons of Christianity. More like the beginning of the world nobody talks about but then again I reside them to myths.

Nobody born with evil until u're loved ones betrayed u

Blue Bliss yes let down by another chick

In Greek mythology,it is also seen before that gods raped nymphs like Europa,Daphne and Io

That's someone else

No she was just angry onr of her girls slept with her rival

Nah Hera too was jealous

It was not jealousy! She was a very beautiful woman priestess οf Athena and like the godess she had a vow of virginity. Many men wanted her, but she declined them all. Poseidon always hostile towards Athena because she got to name the city of Athens and overwelmed from her beauty raped her in the sanctuary and Athena not wanted to fight Poseidon, erupt over the poor woman transforming her.

Lol, I'm glad you feel better x

Im greek and they tell us the real story they don't care that were 8

Same

That's because they don't teach you everything you need to know about subjects in school they only teach you the gist of what they think you need to know

@@chrisbogan6519 and that's why a lot people failed school

Olympia Latsenere thank God I did my own research on the subject so I know all about Poseidon's sick rape urges and how f***** up the Greek gods actually were to their subjects which kind of has contributed to my complete disregard for any gods of any religion. Benevolent or malevolent or a combination of both they are all the same only out to look out for themselves

I agree with you but I don’t think she’s an angel

That's mythology and don't be rude its fake

She had twins

@@concept5631exactly and considering athena hated her and was jealous of her, that wasn’t only “protection”

Yea but according to this athena gave perseus the shield to defeat and behead medusa

Athena could have just protected medusa and there would be no need for her to be punished for no fucking reason 😡

@@painalpeggy Athena also carries a shield where Medusa’s head was imprinted.

@@azazel166 Demons do exist. And all these ancient mythical creatures, aliens, reptilians are in fact Demons. And in ancient times some nations would worship Demons. Greeks, Egyptians etc

Exactly, he may be an ass but he's like that to everyone

Ayaka Suzuki yea such a mindless behavior

she probably helped Poseidon rape her so she could be unpure. thus not offering her protection. or guided advice. she knew it was going to happen. had a chance to stop it. but blamed it on her.

Athena was always a jealous bitch, when she had weaving contest with Arachne she lost and instead of accepting her defeat she turned Arachne into a spider; like bitch please.

Eh my name is athena...

I know right, the same for the story of arachne

That's half true... Madusa was actually a AFRICAN goddess. She was the God of BEAUTY and had 3 sisters. She was beautiful, when men seen her, they stopped what they were doing and stared and her ( that's where the metaphor " turn men into stones). She DID get raped by that God ( madusa was a virgin) and that goddess DIDN'T believe her. She called for the other God to come cut madusa's head off ( that's how she died). Then the goddess scandalize her name, character, and drew images of her w red evil looking eyes and snakes in her hair. The ACTUAL description They gave was " hair like snakes"...WHICH WERE ACTUALLY DREADS. MADUSA WAS A BLACK VIRGIN GODDESS W DREADLOCKS AND THE EUROPEANS CHANGED IT TO A WHITE WOMAN W SNAKES. THINK ABOUT IT, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, ONLY BLACK PEOPLE GOT PUNISHED. NOT WHITES. ALL EUROPEANS CHANGED BLACK GODS/DIETIES & CULTURE TO THEIRS LIKE THEY CREATED IT......NOW THATS THE TRUTH!!!!!

Combined Minds yeah, where are the source of this? Even Ovid who vilified the gods didn’t say this much.

I hate how everyone misunderstood Athena's side of the story... Athena really liked Medusa as her priestess but she hasn't had any choice to punish her because she doesn't have the power nor the rank to punish Poseidon instead of her and if she did punish Poseidon, she will start a war between the gods and it will be the downfall of humanity when nature itself will fight each other.

grace exclamador she was still jealous

I don't have to imagine that, unfortunately.

Eric Bray Medusa story made me dislike athena

Eric Bray TRUE

Tiki80 Hilary betrayed the trust of America Look it up

I always thought medusa was innocent

DON'T ANGER THEM!!

But i think something is missing here, Athena cursed Medusa so that she could fight for herself, the last part i don't believe

Oh, get this. According to legend. Athena ALSO turned a lady into a hideous spider because this mortal could weave better than her.

Evelyn Rogue, Athena did it because Arachne tried to kill herself. And, they were equally as good. They just showed different sides of the gods. Yes, I’m claiming the gods are spoiled brats. Don’t tell them.

greek mythology just shows the existence of corruption when you have such power within you...

Yes and cause of Disney movies and other folklore hades is shown as the antagonist.....

That's how 95% of Greek Myths go. They were big on that

There are no wisdom when it comes to Olympian God. The kindest is ironically, Hades. He did kidnapped Persephone but atleast he let her go away from Hell for some long time in each year

@@iloveanothermanswives4278 yea I know, hades was the only god that was fair, he was the only one who never raped anyone (ppl think he raped Persephone which is not true) he gave everything to her including co-rulership of the underworld, Zeus would never give that to Hera lol, either way I was pointing out how ironically it is that Athena is goddess of wisdom while she has no wisdom at all

Sam Smith and I always wondered why the Greek gods don’t exist today. Completely unspoken of. At least not on the same level as our Lord and savior

Thing is though Kratos is just a video game character

Bunch of shapeshifting, jealous rapists!

chris bogan just as these Greek gods are also fictional characters

Now that we realized it it’s to late

She wasn’t lonely, or scared. And she wanted to stay a virgin, so she didn’t want companion and love. smh

Ok but here's is the thing there is no actual story of medusa because she is myth meaning there are many different versions of her story there is no true story why do people keep saying there is a true story if this is the story you want to believe that's fine but they doesn't make it canon because THERE IS NO CANON IN MYTHOLOGY thank you.

NaOiMh_Tomi I stopped reading as soon as I saw *”here’s is”* 😂

@@tree8821 oops😛

This version of the myth isn't even Greek. It's written by a Roman poet.

Athena wasn't stupid for doing that. She hated Medusa due to jealousy so turning Medusa into a monster was how she could make Medusa get killed.

@@caraon9859 Fine, she wasn't stupid, she was cruel and petty, which is a hundred times worse. And I didn't say stupid in my original comment, I said didn't rule wisely. There is a difference.

There are a lot of versions of this story. I believe instead of Athena cursing Medusa, she granted her plead for protection and made Medusa her protector.

Yeah then Athena armed Perseus so he could go kill Medusa. In a few words, every Greek god was a giant asshole

Lol..😂😂 Nicka dah bitch is dump as fuck..😂

Ikr that bitch is only jealous and petty. Like damn gurl get your shit together cuz it ain't cute.

Ναι ΑΘΗΝΑ

Sirjana Subba In the words of Aquaman from Young Justice: ‘Wisdom does not equal maturity’. Just because someone is wise doesn’t mean they’ll always act sensibly. As Athena is an image crafted by human thinking she too is as limited and flawed as humans are. You’re right though. I wonder how anyone could worship a deity who claims to be wise yet acts so unwisely.

Athena should be rethinking of what they did.

RejoiceX The Minotaur?

Ummm

In the case of Medusa though, she was always a monster, born and bred. She was never human.

@@Scion141 yeah this is just Ovid's version, in others she was always a monster I mean her parents were Phorcy's and Ceto who birthed numerous other monsters

Is it her fault? Everyone says it's mythology. That means it's the greek's fault!!

Well , she might have did this to both evade a bloody fight with Poseidon and to protect Medusa from him and other men , which seems kinda wise to me

@@jstplay3945 really does letting someone be raped in your own temple seem kinda wise to you?

again not the first time.

Maybe thats why shes the godess of wisdom shes so wise that she knows to kill others before they pose any threat to her and that may be part of moral of the mythology story.

She was jealous of her ....

@@elizabethsanawa2875 not true.

There is no truth

@@joegoldb1erg to be fair I hate myself to😊.

You know this is fictional right?

Goddess Capricorn I agree I like Medusa I think she is sexy gorgeous beautiful faithful loyal

Shelby Clark right

Shelby Clark In a different story Athena did this so Medusa can protect herself from other men. She made her stare only worked on men and she was the symbol of protection for women of abuse and rape.

Shelby Clark women. Am I right?

hell yeah, thats what I was thinking lol

True

Siva Jnana that's the problem with gods and goddesses, if anything offends them in even the slightest way they will bring a very unjust punishment upon whoever they so choose to which is one of the reasons why I've turned away from religion and religious cultures. I do believe that there is something powerful and of great light out there but I am not going to put a name or even a physical form to such a being because as I've said many times that's what causes big problems amongst mankind because everybody wants to think that their idea of who the Creator or creatrix is and depending on how zealous they are they'll kill you for their beliefs

and let's not forget Poseidon too

I love the history!

KikiLemonlady :3 Poseidon's the one that pretty much caused the creation of Medusa he's just as guilty as Athena maybe even more so because he actually tried to rape her and all Medusa wanted was protection from her Patron goddess

I mean, Poseidon as well.... He knew Athena would become mad with rage if he raped Medusa (especially in Athena’s temple) but he did it anyway just to get back at Athena

Heavens feel look it up

What a shame even people call "her" a "bad guy"

Percy is Poseidons son not Zeuses

*facepalm* demigods can't use phones or they will attract monsters. Percy used the glass gazing ball Annabeth gave him. But it helped that Grover was distracting her by flying around with those shoes.

You should read the book

Ziggy Wynder And Hades is so underrated. It seems as though all the good guys are portrayed as bad guys, and all of the “heroes” are cruel and unfair.

I think that is why the other Gods hate him, while the other Gods are raping and giving curses here is Hades trying to fight all of them

Marvin G. So true.

I think he took a daughter of a goddess to the underworld and forced her to marry him so they’re all shitty

@@aphroditealiasvenus No,he didn't force her to marry him. He said that she can go if she wants but she loved Hades too so she stayed with him. And plus, Hades was loyal to Persephone unlike all the other gods that were fuccboiss.

A lot of Greek goddesses were jealous. Athena was jealous of Medusa & Arachne; Aphroditie was jealous of Pyche; And Hera is jealous of every "mistress" Zeus had affairs with.

Tee Jay Nah. hera and aphrodite do a wonderful job of that as well. Mainly hera

Tee Jay Na , that taken by the Queen of the Gods herself, Hera. Man you thought Athena’s jealousy was bad? Wait till you hear about Hera, it’s going to make Athena’s look TAME ( line inspired be Percy Jackson Greek Gods by Rick Riodan) . Man the stories that were told about her jealousy about Zeus and his affairs... and the way she punished his lovers... yikes...

Beza Zerefu I think your missing what is meant... Especially as those stories generally begin with zues boning someone not his wife.

Tee Jay athena was a slut

Mythology & Fiction Explained even in percy jackson it stated that Percy got his name from the 1st perseus son of zeus the only hero who die by old age

Even more confusing than as to why people still believe Perseus was the son of poseidon.

Mythology & Fiction Explained I guess they just expand Percy's name and come to that conclusion. Great video, btw! I have been trying to find a channel like yours. Have you considered Indian mythology?

Mythology & Fiction Explained a simple answer from me is right now people only read what on a popular book list not a story behind it Just like what the story behind narnia

Mythology & Fiction Explained I never understood that either. Percy jackson is based off of greek mythology and maybe the authors target audience swears by it. It's best to read about the actual mythologies b/c they're very fascinating but if you don't want to read the books there's a series called Clash of the Gods that explores the greek myths very well. It's not restricted to those myths as there's an episode about Beowulf and I think Thor(not the Marvelized version)

Crimson so Athena was a voyeur...

Ya It was a privilege to have sex with a god according to the Greek Gods ! And for one Greek god to want a human was like winning the lottery! I know to is humans that not right ! But to them they saw nothing wrong with that ! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Richard Castro rape is still wrong specially if someone doesnt want it, medusa wanted to stay a virgin for athena yet athena did not help her and even envied her then cursed her for being raped... Medusa wanted to fulfill her duties for someone she believed in and is very loyal to, yet athena wanted something bad to happen to her just to curse her... Raping isnt bad if it's the gods? That rape gave her consequences of being cursed and being hunted down plus she didnt want that rape from pseoidon and rejected him multiple times, no wonder devils have pitch forks like him

Alex rape is never an excuse I understand and am not denying that ! However in ancient Greek days especially in these days we’re talking about gods saw it a privilege to be with a god ! Never taking into account the Justice of the human ! I heard many versions of this tale ! One version stated that Medusa purposely temped Poseidon because she knew how beautiful she was and how she could have anyone she wanted remember she was a titan she knew she had usual beauty and wasn’t all human ! Then I heard other version like the one we are talking about now ! Nevertheless this story is sad all the way !

Poseidon couldn't keep it in his pants. And they say Zeus was a womanizer.

To get one woman down Zeus's son had to get so many help

I wish I can go back in time and slap the crap out of Poseidon is in Athena and then kill both of them because medusa didn’t do anything besides his fault he just couldn’t handle the Packers she didn’t wanna be with him and I don’t blame her for 10 people just got stone inch up in their heads

BeeLuv Bts and KARD actually in other stories Athena did that so that what happened to her would never happen again

If Athena was jealous, she probably would’ve done something to Medusa long before Poseidon came in.

not people, only men. Her symbol is on a lot of old houses and scientists have not been able to figure out why. Until the teori that it was a way to show where it was safe for women an abusive relationship. The goddess could not keep Medusa as a priestess sindes she was no longer a virgin. But she could protect her from all men. This is the new interpretation of Meduse.

The same story on n on till this day

Jazlyn Just look the webtoon version of Poseidon from Athena Complex

There's probably variation between the Ancient Greek version of the story and the Roman version of the story, naturally causing this confusion

Jazlyn When I read Percy Jackson Greek Gods, I read that Medusa willfully went with Poseidon and when he suggested they do something in private, he suggested Athena’s temple and Medusa reluctantly agreed. Then they got down on the foot of the statue and did something so disgusting that it caused Athena to anger. But I never heard of this side of the story. Thanks for the information📖🇬🇷🍼😁
