- Title: Medusa
- Artist: Akroates
- Description: Medusa, originally a beautiful young woman whose crowning glory was her magnificent long hair, was desired and courted by many suitors. Yet before she could be betrothed to a husband, Poseidon (Neptune) found her worshipping in the temple of Athena (Minerva) and ravished her. Athena was outraged at her sacred temple being violated, and punished Medusa by turning her beautiful tresses into snakes and giving her the destructive power to turn anyone who looked directly at her into stone.

she wasn't actually a human, from the actual greek myth. but according to the movie CLASH OF THE TITANS, she was. she was actually a gorgan in the myth, but i love the movie version better.

- There's many different stories about medusa. I read one where she boasted that she was more beautiful than even Aphrodite and the goddess was not happy so she made her "ugly". Still, not a bad job, I like it.

- Did a good job, Medusa is my favorite monster from the Greek mythos and I love what you did with the leafs. The real Medusa supposedly had bronze wings so it would be cool to see yours with those, but it is still awesome. 5/5
