== | ==Trivia== | ||
Madusa and its [[Goregon|green cousin]] are inspired by the Greek myth of Medusa and her sisters, known as the Gorgons. They appear as beautiful women with venomous snakes in the place of hair. Those who gazed into Medusa's eyes were turned to stone. In one myth, Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden but she had her hair transformed into snakes by the goddess Athena after she was violated by the god Posiedon in a temple that was sacred to Athena. She was eventually beheaded by the hero Perseus. | Madusa and its [[Goregon|green cousin]] are inspired by the Greek myth of Medusa and her sisters, known as the Gorgons.
