Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα, Medousa, "guardian," "protector"), in Greek mythology, was a female Cthonic monster, one of the three Gorgons. Daughter of Phocis and Ceto (although the ancient author Hyginus interposes a generation and cites another Cthonic couple as Medusa's parents), anyone who looked directly at her would be turned to stone. Unlike her Gorgon sisters, Estheno and Euryale, Medusa was mortal; she was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who subsequently used her head as a weapon, until he gave it to the goddess Athena, who put it on her shield. In Classical Antiquity the image of Medusa's head appeared on the object used to scare away the evil known as gorgonion.
