Description
This vivid retelling of the Medusa myth follows the mortal Gorgon from her childhood among divine sisters through the devastating events that transform her into one of Greek mythology’s most feared monsters. Told through multiple perspectives—including Medusa, Perseus, and Athena—it expands a familiar legend into a sweeping examination of power, punishment, violence, and the consequences of divine pride. With a sharp, witty narrative voice and a polyphonic structure, the story questions who the true monsters are and whose version of myth deserves to be believed. Both darkly funny and deeply tragic, it offers a compassionate new perspective on a woman too often remembered only for the danger of her gaze.
