Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The snake-haired Medusa does not become widespread until the first century B.C. The Roman author Ovid describes the mortal Medusa as a beautiful maiden seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess’ wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Medusa Turns King Polydectes to Stone In an ironic turn of events, Perseus uses Medusa against King Polydectes by turning him to stone after he returns. Perseus pulls Medusa’s head from his satchel and holds it up, causing King Polydectes to look into the eyes of Medusa and consequently be turned to stone.
