Medusa was once a young, beautiful lady. She married a handsome man, and she was going through pregnancy. She knit very well and would make many colourful, artistic clothing. One day, she kept boasting about her knitting skills, and challenged the goddess Athena to a knitting competition in the forest that day. Soon enough, Athena came. When she saw the difference of beauty between her knitting and Medusa's knitting, (well, that time, she wasn't Medusa yet) she cast a spell on her, turning her into an ugly lady with snakes in her hair and green snake like skin. "Now you will regret ever versing me in a competition! It is I who shall win at the end of it all!" Athena screamed before rising back up to the clouds back to Olympus. Everyone ran away from Medusa, screaming in terror. Medusa was forced to hide in the covers and turn the people who were daring to approach her to stone.

While she was hiding, Medusa's baby was born. It turned out that they were twins, Euryale and Stheno, who looked exactly like their mother.

Medusa, Euryale and Stheno were the 3 gorgon sisters. Medusa was mortal, meaning that she could get killed while Euryale and Stheno were immortal, meaning that they could not get killed. Medusa was a crazy gorgon and would go insane turning others to stone without reason, so a heroic man named Perseus was sent to decapitate her head while she was sleeping. Soon enough, it actually worked, because Perseus wore an invisibility cape so that the gorgon wouldn't see her. He decapitated her head successfully and put it in a bag, running away in fear since Euryale and Stheno were chasing after him. It turned out that once Medusa died, Pegasus, a winged horse and Chrysaor, a giant boar, were born as twins. Only Medusa did have the power to actually turn people to stone, so the nightmare was finally over.
