#MEDUSA GORGON SKIN#

#MEDUSA GORGON SKIN#

She has dark-tinted skin and dark green snakes for hair that curl on top of her head.

Medusa, like her sisters, is quite thin in size. She knows that, if her sisters and her can't work together, they will never defeat the American Dragon. Although Medusa insists (with good reasons) that she is the most important of the Gorgons, she is the first to call up a truce. She bickers with Fury and Euryale over who is the most important of them and who should be ruler over the world. Like siblings usually do, Medusa often quarrels with the other Gorgons, sometimes to the point that she'll engage into a fight against them. She also comes out as ungrateful since she never shows a hint of gratitude toward her sisters for breaking her free. She takes pride in the fact that most people know her name over Fury's or Euryale's. Medusa is a snobbish and proud woman who likes to have things done her way. Personality and Relation with Other Gorgons Her freedom is once again short-lived since she gets turned back to stone by Jake and sinks in the Hudson River once more. In her second appearance, Medusa is once again freed by Fury and joins her two sisters on a quest to defeat the American Dragon and rule over the world. Her freedom is short-lived, however, when she starts feuding with Fury and Euryale and gets turned to stone, sinking once again into the river. In her first appearance, she is awakened by her sisters who had to fetch her from the deep waters with a fishing net.

It is also possible that she was moved by magical means to guarantee her imprisonment. It is possible that she was, like her sisters, mistaken for an ancient Greek sculpture and shipped to North America to be displayed in a museum, but was lost in a shipwreck. It is currently unknown how exactly Medusa ended up in the middle of the Hudson River near New York City. Medusa and her sisters remained stuck in marble for more than a hundred years. He used his shield as a mirror, which reflected the Gorgon's paralyzing spell back onto them, thus turning all three to stone.

2 Personality and Relation with Other Gorgonsĭuring the times of ancient Greece, Medusa and her sisters ruled over all magical beings on Earth until they were overthrown by a warrior, presumably the Greek hero Perseus.

It's time to put the plan into action.and if they're successful they'll still have to deal with King Polydectes. Hermes returns to find Medusa about to attack Perseus. Perseus think Hermes is abandoning him, but Hermes has actually gone to get a sword and shield.Īnyone who looks Medusa directly in the face is turned instantly to stone - so Hermes is intending Perseus to use the shield to see the reflection of Medusa only. When they arrive at their destination Hermes suddenly flies back to Olympia. The Three Grey Sisters only have one eye between them - which they use in turn - and Perseus is able to turn this to his advantage to discover the location of Medusa. Hermes intervenes with the information that Medusa's whereabouts can only be determined by talking to the Three Grey Sisters - so off go the two of them. So it is that Perseus finds himself challenged to defeat the Gorgon - a monster called Medusa - a task that Polydectes believes to be impossible since the Oracle has prophesied that Medusa can never be defeated. When Perseus tells Polydectes to leave his mother alone the King agrees - but only if Perseus can fulfil his challenge. Polydectes takes a fancy to Danae and is determined to marry her. But the crate is rescued by a fisherman and Perseus and his mother find themselves on the Isle of Seriphos at the court of King Polydectes. He puts Perseus and his mother - Danae - into a crate and throws them into the sea. Akrisios decides to take matters into his own hands.

The Oracle replies that he will die at the hands of his grandson - Perseus. Perseus's grandfather - Akrisios - goes to the Oracle to ask how long he has to live.
