More Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is Perseus?
Perseus is a famous hero in Greek mythology and the son of the main god Zeus. He and his mother were abandoned by their grandfather and drifted to Serifos Island, where they were taken in by the king. In order to marry his mother, the king of Serifos encouraged Perseus to take risks and told him to kill the female demon Medusa.
Medusa is the most dangerous of the three Gorgons, and her hair is all poisonous. Anyone who looks at her will immediately become a stone. Then Perseus overcame many difficulties, found Medusa, fought her with a bright copper shield from the goddess Athena, and cut off her head using the reflection of the bronze shield.
Help from Athena:
When Perseus was about to set off in search of Medusa, a friendly old seaside fisherman offered to help him. The old fisherman lent Perseus something precious. However, the old fisherman is Athena incarnate. She lent Perseus treasures: a pair of shoes that could fly into the sky, a hat that would wear invisible, a purse that could be rescaled and stretched to keep wild beasts from biting it, and a pair of cuttings like an Iron diamond sword. At the same time, Athena also lent Perseus her shield. After Perseus found Medusa, he used Athena’s shield to reflect Medusa’s exact location. He climbed onto Medusa from behind. He cut off Medusa’s head with one sword. Then, Perseus put Medusa’s head in his leather bag, put on his flying shoes, and left quickly.

What is the Symbol of Medusa?
Medusa is a virgin sacrifice, with a holy and stunning female beauty. And his appearance makes all men be moved by it, but she could not enjoy the sexuality of men and women. Yet her beauty brought it an unfortunate fate. After she was raped, she was treated unfairly and turned into a monster. Her hair turned into a viper, a symbol of jealousy, cold blood, and devotion. Furthermore, the most common interpretation of Medusa suggests that she was symbolic to protect and warding off evil.
