Summary
Natalie Haynes: Medusa's View
They will fear you, run away from you and call you a monster.
Among the gorgon sisters, Medusa is the youngest, the most beautiful and the only mortal. She changes, feels weak, grows old. He feels transience and, unlike his family, understands people's actions.
When Poseidon lusts after Medusa in Athena's temple, the goddess is overcome with merciless anger. Enraged that her eternal rival has dishonored her shrine, she decides to take revenge on the girl. Punished for Poseidon's actions, Medusa will forever be horribly transformed. Her beautiful curls will be replaced by adders, and her gaze will petrify all living things. Cursed to destroy everyone she loves with her gaze, Medusa withdraws into solitude and remains hidden until Perseus embarks on the fateful search for the Gorgon's head.
In this novel, one of the most famous ancient myths is turned upside down, telling a story with sincere empathy towards the main character - a woman who was hurt by a powerful man - accused, punished and demonized for someone else's sin. Going deep into the origins of the myth, Natalie Haynes gives a contemporary reconstruction of Medusa's story with a lot of passion and ingenuity.
