Topic	Something about Medusa has always bugged me..
indica 12/29/22 4:53:20 AM #42:	Zikten posted... This. Medusa was a total victim. What happened to her was entirely not her fault and unfair Just going off memory here... Wasn't she raped by a god and then a goddess was mad that the god thought Medusa was hot, so she turned her into a monster? indica posted... No, you're actually talking about a Roman version of her by Ovid, not the original Greek myths where she was one of three sisters called the Gorgons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa But, yes, the Greek gods were assholes...as was the God in the Abrahamic religions But you're right about the concept of her being an allegory of a victim of misogyny as the myth is possibly based on the Greeks taking down a feminist religious cult that wore snake masks as apotropaics --- There is no good. There is no evil. There just is. <cite>indica posted [p:970476601] in Something ... [t:80292062]...</cite> <quote>Zikten posted... </cite><quote>This. Medusa was a total victim.
