Medusa was a Gorgon, a monstrous being whose body was covered in scales, his face all wrinkled and in his hair, instead of ringlets, he had coiled snakes playing on his head. Medusa could not be looked at in the face, but not because it was horrifying, but because the moment you looked at her she turned you into stone.
Everyone but Perseus, who was a Greek hero for that. So one fine day he decided to take down Medusa and free the world to become stone statues. But the matter was not easy and Perseus had to ask for help. It was the Greek gods who helped Perseus by giving him some gifts that he would need.
Athena gave him a shield that was at the same time a mirror, Zeus gave him a sickle with a very sharp edge, Hermes lent him his winged sandals and Hades left him his helmet that made him invisible. Armed with all these gifts, Perseus went to meet the Gorgon. And there he met Medusa, walking amused while turning stone statues to everyone who was on the road.
When Medusa sat down to rest, Perseus began his maneuver. He could not look her in the eye because it would turn to stone, so he used the mirror shield to control jellyfish movements. As soon as he saw her sitting and resting, Perseus put on his helmet that made him invisible, put on his wing sandals and went flying with the sickle in his hand ready to cut off Medusa's head.
It was a success, because Perseus cut off Medusa's head and kept it in an opaque bag so that he could not petrify anyone else. In addition, from the blood of Medusa was born the famous horse Pegasus, a horse that flew and that Perseus used to get home as soon as possible
