Greek Mythologys Medusa

A Greek mythological classical character chosen, Medusa with her snake hair and stone stare, a frozen Look turning people to stone, originally a vision of beauty, A woman of erotic desire, who inflicted unimaginable cruelty, Her destiny to become an unapproachable monster, Many attempted to kill her, heroes and many a mobster, Her punishment, all because Poseidon willfully raped her Bringing about woe upon all women whoever they were. The Greek God Perseus renowned for killing Such beasts, ordered by King Polydectus whether willing Or not, to go and bring back her head, Perseus had a plan how to slay Medusa, delivering it dead. This was a hero, but still sweat collected on his brow, DRIP Drip, drip, but bravely approached her abode, a swift SNIP Went his sharp sword which did ,SMASH Down with might, and Medusa’s blood did SPLASH It was rumored that from the severed head came a BELCH As her blood in Perseus’s hands went SQUELCH. This warrior’s deed was certainly brash, swiftly did snatch Medusa’s head, Perseus the hero for whom there was no match. Well worked his plan, held his shield at an angle, a space At which he could see the reflection of her face On his shield, but not look into her eyes, he scored an ace, The horrifying snakes in her hair died, her eyes ablaze A statue of Medusa’s head shown as averting assailant’s gaze.
