Meet the Medusa

MEDUSA

Hello all @splinterlands lovers...


All of you know the MEDUSA a Rare monster from Water Splinter with magic attack and at upper level has Stun ability.


I was going watching some documentary on YouTube. Documentary was about the Ancient Aliens. In between they talked about the MEDUSA and immediately splinterlands strike in my mind.


I search on internet and find that the Medusa was a creature with living snakes in place of hair.

In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as a winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed upon her face would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, though the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto.According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on an island named Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion.
Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. {
