        Medusa is a serpent headed monster found in Greek mythology, whose repulsive look would turn man into stone. She is also known as the snake-headed monster. The blood which flowed from her head also had mystical powers. It is said to be the origination of many lethal snakes in Africa. Her strength lied in the fact that it could trap anything that came in her tracks.

        Her weakness lied in the fact that out of the trio of Gorgon sisters, she was the only one who was not immortal. Her ugliness was her weakness though there is a myth which states that her beauty would hypnotise and shock the onlookers. Thus even if a person would see her severed head accidentally, he or she would be doomed. If you want to know some more information about Medusa you can log on to gogreece.about.com.
