This isn’t true from what I’ve learned

Athena is one of the gods/goddesses known to be an asshole. She did something similar to a woman named “Arachne” as punishment for being better than she was at silk weaving.

She had consensual sex with Posidon in a temple to Athena, and when Athena saw it, she was so angry that she turned her into Medusa. It's the story of a man using a woman to get revenge on someone, and when said person gets upset, they punish whoever they can. Since you can't really punish a god, you just have to settle for punishing a mortal.

I don’t pay attention to those sorta stories. Whats the real story tho?

It was Athena who did it

Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple, and Athena, enraged, cursed her to look so hideous that men turned to stone upon seeing her.

The story of Medusa being human turned monster is completely fictional.

As in, in terms of the Grecian religion, it's about as accurate as God Of War.

Medusa was a monster from birth. The only mortal sister of the Gorgans, slain by Perseus and her head chained to Athena's shield to keep it out of mortal hands.

So poseidon raped her in Athens temple and then the Female goddess Athena cursed her. The story can be spun both ways.

Virtual-Knight · 2019-10-12T21:24:16+00:00

In the story I heard about Medusa, there was no sex of any kind whatsoever. She was turned into a gorgon as punishment for desecrating a temple belonging to one of the goddesses out of jealousy for her beauty.

That whole subreddit is a goddamn gold mine for feminist rants

LilDickCasper · 2019-10-13T09:06:36+00:00

Love that all these posts are locked for us. It's the reddit equivalent to making a wrong point and then shouting and screaming "la la la" with your fingers in your ears.

whoooo0cares · 2019-10-12T20:02:05+00:00

No what they mean by "raped" is she was banging gods and was getting an entitled attitude and when they got sick of her bullshit they stopped paying attention to her so then she cried "rape" then got turned into a horrible monster.

EDIT: LMAO @ the downvotes! I'm surprised this is getting downvoted in an anti feminist sub because what I described is exactly what happens so much in today's society with modern women. Another shitty subreddit that isn't what it claims to be.

Edd_M · 2019-10-14T15:41:00+00:00

She got turned into a monster by another woman though

Ferretninja007 · 2019-10-24T22:48:09+00:00

That is not even remotely the story
