Myth: Medusa is a gorgon who was killed by Perseus. Medusa was the girlfriend of Poseidon, the Sea God, and she got in trouble when Athena caught them kissing in her temple. Her punishment was to be turned into a horrible monster. Not being able to bear her any longer, Poseidon broke up with her, and she was forced to live with her sisters, who were also turned into monsters.
Description: Medusa is a woman with green skin, snakes for hair, sometimes wings, and a shriveled face. This is her description as I've been told, but nobody really knows, because she is so ugly that if you look at her, she will turn you to stone. The worst part for her is that no hair stylist works with snakes, and she can't do her makeup, because if she looks into a mirror, she'll turn herself to stone.
Destruction: Perseus killed her with a mirrored shield, so that he can look at her reflection and not into her eyes. So don't forget your mirror, and Use the Force Luke!
