What is a MYTH?
Despite their awesome powers, the gods & goddesses were similar to people.
They had feelings such as pride, jealousy, love, & a thirst for revenge.
The deities often left Mt. O, to become involved in the affairs of mortals.
They were not above using tricks & disguises to influence the mortals.
Sounds pretty shady to me.
Medusa was a beautiful woman with golden locks of hair. She lived in Athens Greece and was one of Athena's priestess. There she was to remain a virgin and serve Athena.
The greeks built temples to honor the gods. They held festivals, sacrifices & competitions.
MEDUSA
Enter Perseus. He is on a mission to save his girlfriend Andromeda from the Kraken but in order to do this he has to take Medusa's head. (The turning things into stone). He will use the shied Athena gave him, Zeus gave him a sword, and Hades a helmet.
When Medusa head was severed from her body Pegasus sprang from her neck. Remember she was with Poseidon.
Perseus will fly on Pegasus to reach his girlfriend.
Athens will place Medusa head on the Shield and later on she will give it to Hercules for (12 Labors)

The BOX/JAR
Knowing her curiosity would consume her. Zeus put all the evils of the world into the box so that she would send them to plague the world once it was opened.
The evils in the box were greed, envy, strife, sickness, suffering, & death.
SHOCKED BY WHAT SHE WITNESSED. PANDORA QUICKLY SHUT THE BOX TRAPPING HOPE INSIDE.
