But when Medusa suffers a horrific violation at the hands of Poseidon, Athena is outraged over the desecration of her name and sends a message by transforming Medusa into the snake-haired monster of legend. With one look, any who meet her gaze is turned to stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWord of her monstrosity travels fast, igniting a king’s fear so greatly that he commands the boy-hero Perseus to bring him her head. With a power that will spare no one, Medusa begins to wonder if this is a blessing or a curse. Medusa only knows that she must leave the city she has come to call home before she harms another soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSearching for a haven free from mortals, anger buoying her every step, Medusa journeys across ancient Greece. Her eyes are hidden beneath a blindfold, with nothing but the snakes for company. Through her travels, Medusa discovers solace and understanding in the mythical figures she stumbles upon: A debaucherous wine god, an alluring nymph, and a three-headed dog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut one cannot escape fate forever. As Perseus closes in, Medusa faces a choice: become the monster everyone expects her to be, or cling to the last piece of her humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"With profound dignity, grace and wit, Gruender's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eMedusa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e is a delightful addition to the pantheon mythic Greek retellings.\" ―Aimee Gibbs, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Carnivale of Curiosities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Frames Etc ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62894548943007,"sku":"168509392979","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9450\/5119\/files\/IMG_4294.jpg?v=1792614424","url":"https:\/\/www.framesetc.net\/products\/medusa-nataly-gruender-bkby","provider":"Frames Etc ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
