Medusa
In Greek mythology, Medusa (Μέδουσα) is a female creature with sniffing snakes in her hair, with the power to turn the ministers into stone. While it is believed that Medusa is an innate monster in the early periods of mythology, the late poets say that Athena , the goddess of Athena , once a young and beautiful girl, has been punished by Athena as a monster for being in connection with the sea god Poseidon . Medusa is the only Gorgon who is mortal among the Gorgons (like many mythical monsters, Phorkys and Keto, Sthenno, Euryale and Medusa, three monster sisters). To take the head of Medusa with serpentine hair, Serifos (Koyunluca) Island ' The king Polydektes with 's commandment, Andromeda also called the Ethiopian princess who will be the savior, the great hero Perseus ' to be dropped.
Perseus, sleeping with Medusa invisibility helmet at the beginning, when in the hands of separate from the body of the head of Medusa approached with sandals wing of the magic sword and foot, at that time still from the Gorgon's headless body pregnant by Poseidon, the winged horse, according to legend Pegasos with giant is Khrysaor occur . Perseus, after having kept this head for a while, will probably present it to Athena, since the name "defender" means Medusa's malevolent nature, and the goddess is Medusa ' It adds the head of yours to the awesome shield. Especially Gorgoneion, which has the extraordinary protection power of Athena and Zeus in shields, Gorgon head, armor or shields equipped with this auspiciousness is also called Aegis
Gorgon
Sthenno, Euryale, and Medusa, each with three sisters of Greek mythology who have the power to turn the serpent-haired and terrible faces into stone, are called Gorgon (Γοργον) or Gorgo (Γοργω). My mind, as Gorgon, is actually more of these three monster siblings, a kind of female creature with winged, snake-haired, scary-faced; But it is primarily Medusa and his sisters, which are understood under the heading of Gorgons in Greek mythology. The word "Gorgon" comes from the Greek word "gorgos" which means "horrible, horrible". It is believed that the gorgons' views are so effective that the person who will meet them will cause the stone to be cut off, to attach a Gorgon process to the object or building to be protected, Became one in ancient Greek civilization.
One such illustration is found, for example, on the pediment of the Temple of Artemis in Corfu. In addition, since it is in the form of a Gorgon head , protective scents or evil spirits called Gorgoneion are often found in ancient Greek art. Especially BC. From the end of the 8th century onwards, from the Italian to the Black Sea, the Gorgon headdresses are encountered not only in the temples, but also on the houses, on the hobs, in the clothes, in the coats and in the arms. In these depictions we see the Gorgons as snake-haired, big-eyed, broad-eyed, boar-wormed, pendulous-tongued, with large nostrils, sometimes with rough beards, ugly and disturbing creatures; The bodies are not pictured, they are just round heads. Ozan Hesiodos seems to have thought of the Gorgons as a sea monster that brought dangerous shallow cliffs to the sea in terms of navigating the ships at sea. As a matter of fact, the Gorgons are descended from Phorkys and Keto, who represent the various kinds of danger of the sea and are the forerunners of sea monsters.
Also the name of Euryale from her sisters has a meaning like "coming from the salty sea". When we think of the piercing Medusa gaze attached to the legendary shields of the Athena and Zeus aeigis , which have the power of breaking the storm, perhaps we can make a connection between the storms that these shields have torn and the storms that have thrown into the shallow rocks mentioned by the ships Hesiodos.

The Medusa Legend
Only the Medusa is mortal in the Gorgons. While her priorities were believed to have spawned him as a monster, Medusa was portrayed as a beautifully dressed girl in the art of later periods, and the transformation into a creation was tied to the punishment of the goddess Athena. According to the legend, Medusa is personally punished by the goddess for conversion into a snake-haired creation as the goddess Athena enters the temple with the sea god Poseidon. Medusa is pregnant from Poseidon. Meanwhile, the heroes involved in the story of Perseus, Serifos (Qoyunlu by) the king of the island Polydektes ' in the injunction, set off to kill Medusa. Let's say that King Polydectes is the mother of Perseus and the daughter of Princess Danae of the king of Argos, Akrisios. Perseus, The king approves of the relationship between Pollyektes and his mother, calls a way to remove Perseus, finally tells Perseus to bring Gorgon Medusa's head as a gift to himself.
Well, where will Perseus find Medusa? The hero sees great help from the gods in this regard. The goddess Athena, whose anger is not restrained to Medusa, directs Perseus to the land of the evening legendary Hesperids, to the land of Africa, the westernmost point of the Mediterranean. Perseus first finds the Gray Witches (Graiai or Graeae), the sisters of the Gorgons. The Greens or Gray Witches are three-year-old open-minded men who share a single eye. Perseus uses this spoils as a trump to learn the place of the Hesperids by stealing them from witchcrafts in a time when they have exchanged hands, Return. Perseus, who is famous for her garden of goddess Hera, full of golden apples, acquires a backpack (kibisis) from the evening fur. He will carry Medusa's head in this bag. In this note of the legend, the gods equip
Perseus with various weapons. Zeus, a diamond-like hard and sharp-edged knife; Hades, the famous invisibility helmet; Hermes has winged sandals; Athena also lends Perseus his mirror shield, which has extraordinary protection. Perseus moves towards Medusa's cave, equipped with this enormous rig. Perseus sees that Medusa is sleeping when he reaches the cave. This is good news, but Medusa can wake up to the slightest noise and if Perseus will look at Medusa's open eyes even for a moment, she will cut stone. So, Perseus, Without looking directly at the sleeping Medusa, only to approach Gorgon by watching the reflection on his polished shield. The sword of Zeus which he gave to Perseus is so sad that Perseus separates it from the head of the head of Medusa as the only one with this sword.
When Perseus kills Medusa, the winged horse Pegasos and the giant Khrysaor (sometimes portrayed as a winged pig) emerge from Gorgon's headless head. It would not be easy for Perseus to return to the island of Serifos, who put Medusa's head in the coffin he got from his evening noses and hit him on his back. Because the other two Gorgons are going after Perseus to take the torment of Medusa. At this point, the heroine comes to the helm of the invisibility hell Hades lends. During her return journey, Perseus also visited the Ethiopian kingdom, where she would show a great heroine, the beautiful princess Andromeda, waiting for the sea monster Ketos to be a bait, chained to a rock on the shore to pay for the penance of a queen of the queen Kassiopeia The last save. Perseus takes Andromeda as his wife as a reward for his valor.
Well, Andromeda, his uncle Phineus was mentioned before. When Phineus disagrees with Perseus's marriage to Andromeda, Perseus has to lift his opponent out of the way thanks to the head of Medusa he carries with him. Medusa is dead, but he still has the power to turn his minister into a stone. This Phineus part of the legend was added by the Latin poet Ovidius. Andromeda and Perseus return to Argos together. Apollonius of Rhodes tells that Argonot Mopsos was also killed by one of these snakes, while Perseus was flying over the Libyan desert through Hermes' winged sandals. Perseus, who returned to Serifos, When his mother finds out that he has to escape another due to Polydectes' repeated rape, the king kills Medusa by showing him his head and appoints the brother of Polydectes Dyktis as the Serifos king. This behavior of Perseus also means paying the debt to Dyktis at the same time, because the person who raised Perseus is no other than Dyktis. Perseus presents Medusa's head to the goddess Athena.
Athena places this head as a great protective force against the legendary shield or armor, called "aegis", with the storms it cuts, destroying its enemies. Pausanias says that the ancient city of Mykenai / Mycenae is believed to have been founded by Perseus. When he finds out that he has to escape another time because of his constant rape, the king kills Medusa in the coffin by showing him his head and appoints the brother of Polydectes Dyktis as the king of Serifos.
