She inspired paintings, sculptures, and movies. However, she is always portrayed as the thing to kill, without any real reason why she must die.Rosie Hewlett explores the life and death of Medusa in a new light - as a human transformed into a monster because of an unfair goddess, and who is still determined to try to beat the odds against her.Medusa tells us her story from the Underworld, where she has watched her story being told by men time and again and always inaccurately. She decides to finally speak the truth of what really happened.Medusa's mother is a primordial sea goddess and deserts her as soon as she is born because she came out human. She is found by an old temple maiden and raised as a virgin disciple of Athene. She is devoted to the goddess who never speaks to her, yet believing blindly in that divine protection.All goes horribly wrong when Poseidon sets his eye on the adult Medusa's beauty and rapes her in Athene's temple. Medusa calls out repeatedly to the goddess for help but to no avail.Athene only appears after the assault, blaming Medusa for the temple's desecration and punishing her by turning her into the creature we all know and love. Medusa's immortal sisters receive the same treatment as they attempt to explain it was Poseidon's lust to blame.Thus begins Medusa's story of being feared, pursued, betrayed by her mother and gods, finally hiding away so she cannot hurt anyone with her unwanted power. She ultimately finds a friend in the man sent to kill het but discovers instead a pregnant woman who does not deserve to die.Medusa's first-person prose is beautifully written, compelling, and speaks to today's females who must push through the testosterone miasma to be heard in today's society. Several sections would make a fantastic soliloquy for a speech class or an audition. They are so strong yet not pushy in what is being presented, which gives them almost a lyrical feeling.This needs to be made into a movie because Medusa is not amonster but a tragic figure and victim deserving her voice to be not only heard but to be sung in praise for enduring all the pain and cruelty, and leaving the mortal realm with dignity. Female directors and producers - this needs your unique touch to tell it with compassion and empathy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect beach read *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023* Loved this story from Medusa's side. Like Wicked, it makes you see there is always 2 sides to every story. It kept me engaged & I finished it over 2 beach visits, it's short, 200 pages. But it tells the story well! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023* So far of all the medusa retelling I've read so far (4) this one has been my favorite. It shows a victims side without making her a victim for the entire story. ## Frequently Bought Together - Medusa - Medea: The instant Sunday Times bestseller!
