The Sin of Love!

I am sure I was able to grab your attention into my topic through my last blog. Say yes. (Pleaseeee!)

Or atleast, you must be wondering why I chose this topic over millions of other topics.

The truth is, I was blank and wasn't able to think of any extraordinary topic.

But thanks to Aakash, (Yeah man, I just gave you credits) I found the perfect one I was searching for ^_^

So coming back to this beautiful lady Medusa...

She was one of the three Gorgon sisters- Stheno, Euryale and Medusa- born to Phorcys and Ceto. The only difference was that Medusa was mortal while her sisters were immortal. Unfair, was it?

You would be surprised to know that this scary-looking monster was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy! However, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him.

 For this sin, she was punished by the goddess in the most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake. Her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker. And her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge. 

 
And we thought everything was fair in love and war. Alas!
