Well, that's not such a drama when you've been turned to stone.

 True, but I'll bet they make it MUCH harder to keep your eyes closed in the first place!

That's why I wondered why Perseus didn't shoot her from the distance, but I guess the shield mirror trick wouldn't have worked then.

 Well being a complete novice at the Hero Game (he was raised as a fisherman or so I understand) it's not impossible that he simply lacked the training to employ a bow effectively - a discipline that effectively requires a lifetime of training (a significant part of the reason Guns became so popular was that they were comparatively simple to master).

He could have thrown a trident at her. But I guess Poseidon was already pissed enough, no need to extra mock him...

 I would certainly be the last to suggest killing one of Poseidon's Leman with his own favourite weapon! (even if the affair seems to have guttered out after that Curse of Athena took effect).

Most of the happenings Poseidon might call an afair, not only a judge would call a rape.

 WELL it's sort of hard to tell when it comes to The Olympians; they do make a nasty habit of capricious switches between seduction and coarser approaches to the Fairer Sex (amongst others).

Guess also most ladies would hesitate to kick a god in the groin and yell at him 'No means no!' No wonder certain gods behave like swine.

Your version of Medusa is very unrepentant of the sin that caused her to be transformed into a monster. Still sexy, still desirous, still lethal...

wolfanita In reply to Zeonista [2015-10-19 15:45:44 +0000 UTC]

If we're following the later version of the myth, where Medusa once was very beautiful and was turned into a monster because Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple while he got away unharmed, I can pretty much imagine that Medusa feels no regret at all when she's killing as many men as possible and hence radiates the beauty of true inner peace...

Here is a tip: Let her wear a dress with big cleavage and the problem is settled. No eye contact anymore.

Katzztar [2015-09-25 05:10:29 +0000 UTC]

"Avoid eye contact" ... that is the fantasy genre's version of "Do not touch" (for wet paint/delicate items/detonators)= 
It never fails, as soon someone says/reads that, the person will do exactly what it says not to do.

wolfanita In reply to Katzztar [2015-09-25 16:19:59 +0000 UTC]

It's like: "Don't turn around!"
People turn and ask: "Why?"
Bad mistake...

Katzztar In reply to wolfanita [2015-09-25 19:25:35 +0000 UTC]

haha, yes I'm sure its in the guidelines of "How to survive in a horror movie/story ... if you only just listened to the good advise!"

Another of those is the "Don't go investigate that strange sound!"
The person goes off to investigate the sound, ofthen saying "Who's there?"
Very bad mistake.
