The downfall

The downfall

Medusa's white, pure, silk dress fluttered as Poseidon was coming closer and closer. He looked into her eyes with the intention of seducing her. Touching her left arm with his fingertips, he drew closer to her and whispered in her ears: "You are prettier than the rumors say."
"I am indeed the most beautiful girl this country has ever seen," said Medusa gaining back her strength and confidence as soon as her beauty was mentioned.
"I shall turn you from beautiful girl to beautiful woman," on saying these words Poseidon seized Medusa by the arm and shoved her on the floor in front of the goddess' statue. He grabbed her firmly and held her in the temple of Athena.

Medusa was horrified. She screamed and yelled and cried but in vain. Her tears flowed and the floor was wet from her sweat, struggle and tears. She could feel that man controlling every part of her body and tainting her chastity. The horrible aspect of what was happening to her suddenly made her aware of her state and reality: she was being raped!!

For a moment she thought: "Would this have happened had I not been so beautiful? No, this would not have happened had i not boasted about my beauty and had the rumors of my beauty not entered the ears of the god of the sea!!"

With the helplessness of a woman being manhandled roughly, Medusa screamed in agony and let more tears and sweat soil the sanctity of the temple. Poseidon was enjoying himself as much as Medusa was suffering from his grasp.

yea i found it cruel of athena to do that too and i think poseidon should have been the one to be punished but i guess what makes the story interesting is medusa being the victim etc :)
