Comment on Medusa likely would have had tiny snakes growing from her upper lip and chin as she aged.

      Yeah, that’s the story. Medusa was sexually assaulted by Poseidon in the temple of Athena.

        But only in the Roman version. In the original Greek version she was just a monster. That’s also the only way the other gorgons make sense (because they are explicitly Medusa’s sisters and have the same power set, except they are immortal on top).

        Then a couple of centuries later comes the Roman author Ovid and adds a retelling of the story to his works. And just like Hollywood does today with their remakes he decides to add a tragic backstory to his new version.

        And now a couple more centuries later a lot of people believe that’s the “real” version.
