Medusa quickly became one of the most important characters for the podcast, particularly because of the ways in which she has been misunderstood and misrepresented. Liv is always looking for more information on Medusa and dives deeper into her story at every opportunity.

Medusa through the sources

01.21 Sister, Survivor, Savior, The Gorgon Medusa

Medusa is never just one thing: her history, variations on her story, interpretations... There's a whole wide world of Medusa and this episode attempts to touch upon just a fraction of ancient sources and versions. Monster? Beautiful woman? Survivor? Mother? One of three mortal queens? Medusa is everything.
