Just read this article from HuffingtonPost, about the darker side of Greek Myths. I thought that this is an interesting read, so I share it with you guys. The comments are as interesting as the post! ^^
yeah, poor Medusa. In either way, if she had prevented it maybe Poseidon will be the one to punish her (maybe he could turn her into a fish, or a sea weed, or anything), if she failed to protect herself against the advances of Poseidon, then Athena will punish her (which happens), so, still there's no escape for Medusa.In every version of that myth that I have read, it was a punishment for letting it happen. As if Medusa could have prevented it.
