The Symbolism of Medusa- A Deeper Look at Purity Culture and Patriarchal Norms
Despite being one of Greek mythology's most infamous monsters, Medusa's story has always been unique. As one of the fiercest predators in the genre, she might have survived the storms of time. However, the story can be interpreted through a feminist lens. Medusa was more of the prey than the predator. As a follower of the goddess Athena, Medusa made a vow to live chastely, but when Poseidon sexually assaulted her in the temple, that plan fell apart. To put it briefly, the goddess of war did not find the Greek god Poseidon's seduction of a lovely young woman in Athena's temple endearing. Another version tells a darker story in which the god of the sea pursues the innocent woman violently against her will. She rushes across Athens, desperate to get away from her conqueror.
