The Story of Medusa - Betrayed Priestess of Greek Mythology

The story of Medusa from Greek mythology is perhaps less well known than Medusa herself. The name Medusa summons forth images of a terrible and cruel monster, but she was not always this way. So who was Medusa really, and how did she end up being cast in the role of the villain? The story of Medusa awaits...

This popular version of the myth is based on the Roman Poet Ovid's writings. Other versions of the story exist and we may cover these in another video.

An amazing story, told in the signature raconteur style.
