Medusa was a monster, originally a beautiful woman, known for her ability to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. The hero Perseus famously cut off her head. Legend says that when her blood hit the ground, the winged horse Pegasus and the giant Chrysaor sprang forth. Even after death, her head was used as a symbol of protection, appearing on shields and armor in ancient times.
