Summary
Medusa is a monstrous Gorgon and a major antagonist in Clash of the Titans (2010). Once a beautiful priestess of Athena, Medusa was cursed after being raped by Poseidon in Athena’s temple. Enraged, the goddess turned her into a hideous creature with serpents for hair and the power to turn any living being who gazes upon her eyes into stone. She resides deep within the Underworld in a molten temple and guards it with lethal precision. Perseus and his companions seek her head as the only weapon capable of defeating the Kraken.
