Not every monster in mythology starts as one. And Medusa has dozens of interpretations. Is her story a cautionary tale about getting caught up in fame? Or is it a romantic tragedy? Was Athena's decision to transform her a curse for defiling her temple, or a gift of freedom? Let's break it down and talk about the most famous of the gorgons, Medusa.
