Medusa wasn’t always like this –
(Athena was just one hell
of a jealous woman,
because mommy never taught her how to share)

Poseidon loved Medusa, you know
And he tried to give her the sea, but
she didn’t know how to swim and he
didn’t want to be the one to watch her drown.

So he tried give her a child instead-
On the floor of Athena’s temple
…sweet love…
But she was only mortal and didn’t have the power
To say ‘no’,
Yet it was still her fault and she was left
To face the wrath of Athena
Alone.

Can you tell that even goddesses deal badly
With rejection?

Poseidon vowed to never to love a mortal again.
