The Gorgon's Curse

She was not born a monster. Medusa was a glare — a woman whose beauty made gods look away — until a crime in a temple turned worship into indictment. Instead of punishing the god who broke sanctity, the goddess punished the maiden: beauty wound into venom, hair into living snakes, a single look that could stop a heartbeat and freeze a world. Banished to the edge of the map, she becomes what everyone needs her to be — monster, warning, prize — while the story that made her is reshaped and sold back to a frightened culture.

Medusa: The Gorgon’s Curse is both close, cinematic reconstruction and unsparing cultural criticism. It re-creates the temple, the exile, the nights lit by one stubborn candle, then steps back to ask why we punished the wrong body, how the powerful turned a woman’s face into a weapon, and why modern eyes keep returning to her. Sharp, dark, and stubbornly human, this book gives Medusa her voice and names the rage we have been calling a monster.
