Chapter 355 Medusa: All of you, die! (Shu Ling) 1

[There are different versions of the story of Medusa. Some versions say she was born with snake hair, while others say she was cursed. This world is the cursed version.]

Wu Yuezhao changed the water five times before he finally felt that he didn't smell so bad anymore.

After climbing out of the bathtub and changing into clean clothes, she glanced at the warehouse where the items were visibly decreasing, and hurriedly opened the next world.

'Click'

'Gululu'

A ball that looked like a gray stone rolled out of the machine.

In mid-air, it transformed into a woman with a head full of snakes.

The woman had deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and fair skin, a typical Western appearance.

She didn't even need to introduce herself. Wu Yuezhao knew who she was at a glance just by looking at her confused face.

Who else could this Western woman look like?! A snake-haired demon, Medusa!

"I want revenge!"

The woman was so angry that her expression was ferocious, and even the nest of snakes on her head opened their mouths and screamed!

Wu Yuezhao looked at the woman in front of him, rubbed his head, reached out and grabbed a small snake on her head, and learned about her life.

Well, the second one...

Wu Yuezhao knows of two versions of the legend of Medusa.

One version says that Medusa was the daughter of Phorcys, the primordial sea god, and Cyto, the sea monster, in Greek mythology.

She and her two sisters are collectively called Gorgon, which refers to a monster race, meaning immortal monster.

He has a head full of snake-like hair, and when he looks into someone's eyes, he can turn that person into stone.

They have pig-like tusks and huge golden wings.

Born with supernatural powers, he is a real monster.

This version says that Medusa has been in this snake-haired form since birth, after all, her parents are the kings of demons.

So, it is actually reasonable for her to look like this.

It’s just that Medusa’s two sisters are immortal, but Medusa is weak and she doesn’t have immortality.

Therefore, Medusa, who represents evil and terror but can be defeated, becomes the whetstone that helps the hero become famous.

It just so happened that Perseus, one of Zeus' many illegitimate sons, needed it.

So, with the help of his sister Athena, he killed Medusa, cut off her head, sealed it, and completed his famous work.

He became famous, but Medusa was in trouble.

Seriously speaking, according to the worldview of Greek mythology, her death had nothing to do with her evil. It was just because she was not immortal that she was treated as an easy target and was killed.

Even after death they will be nailed to the pillar of shame and cursed by the world.

According to the rules of that world, her real fault was not that she was evil and terrifying, but that she was not strong enough!

In another version, Medusa was even more miserable.

In this version, Medusa's parents and sisters have the same configuration as before, but she herself has been half human and half monster since birth, with a form that is more human-like.

In fact, because of her beauty comparable to that of a fairy, she is well-known and coveted by those low-class male gods who seem to have taken sea dog pills.

Among them, Zeus's younger brother, the current sea god Poseidon, is the most enthusiastic and perverted.

Chase and intercept her.

Medusa was forced to flee to the temple of Athena, trying to seek asylum.

Theoretically speaking, since the believers have come to us to ask for help, how can we not help them? !

What's more, Medusa was a priest in Athena's temple. She had served Athena carefully over the years and was Athena's most loyal servant.

So it is reasonable for Athena to protect her.

But unfortunately, Medusa was not granted asylum.

Poseidon bullied Medusa in the temple of his niece Athena, in front of the statue of Athena.

Athena didn't even fart at that time!

She didn't show up until the matter was over and Poseidon pulled up his trousers and walked away. Her first words were to question Medusa why she did such a filthy thing in her temple!

Then, on the grounds that Medusa had blasphemed the gods, all her beautiful hair turned into small snakes, and she was cursed so that her beautiful eyes could never look anyone in the eye again. Anyone who looked into her eyes would turn into a stone statue.

Poor Medusa was insulted and then slandered and abandoned by the goddess she sincerely served.

So, she turned evil and completely transformed into a female monster.

In this version, Athena's behavior really makes people want to pierce her spine.

Whenever people in later generations see a version like this, they will poo in the comments section.

But seriously speaking, if we put her behavior into the ancient feudal society of flower cultivation, it would be normal for her class.

In the feudal era, many women's personal maids were favored by the men in their families. Even if the maid did not want to climb into bed or become someone's concubine, 98% of the time the master she served would not be able to protect her.

It is even possible that the woman would think that the maid was seducing her and was just pretending.

This may not be the case, and she may not really agree with it in her heart, but only this idea would make her feel at ease abandoning her maid.

As a woman struggling to survive in a patriarchal society, her social status was given by patriarchy. It was impossible for her to challenge her brother or uncles for a maid.

Even though the maid's question would embarrass her and she was quite upset, she would never fight with the men in her family.

If one day this benefit involves herself, she will naturally fight for it, but being a maid is definitely not worth it.

Just like the scandal between Poseidon and Athena.

Before the incident of Medusa, the city of Athens was not named at first.

In other words, this territory has not been divided.

At that time, Poseidon and Athena were fighting for power in this city. Athena had the upper hand and won the naming rights of the city and the ownership of the territory.

Poseidon therefore bore a grudge against Athena.

In this mood, he pursued Medusa and committed crimes in the temple of Athena, perhaps with the intention of venting his anger.

It was impossible for Athena to really fight with her own uncle, so she must not care about this matter.

But as a goddess who is worshiped by others, how could she not be angry when she was humiliated like this?!

Moreover, if she didn't punish Medusa at that time, how could she appease Medusa? !

Looking at all the Greek myths, you will find that because they were born to be gods, they were born to be superior to humans.

Therefore, all the gods in Greek mythology are arrogant and conceited, especially when facing the weak, their first reaction is not sympathy and compassion, but bullying.

It is very similar to the three views in the immortal cultivation novels of later generations: I am strong and I am right, and you are weak and you deserve it.

This is completely contrary to the idea in the mythological system of the flower-growing world that one must sacrifice oneself for others in order to achieve the great goal.

So, in this case, Greek mythology, that's a really big bed!

After all, they have innate divine power, and there is no way to upgrade. They live on that little bit of original divine power. They have nothing to do all day long, so don't they have to think about how to make a fool of themselves? !
