You know what – I have got a lot of love for Medusa.
Honey is a savage not to be messed with.
You stepping to Medusa with your BS….wellll the monsterous Gorgon will set her snakey
weave on you and you’ll turn to stone.
Sadly, like many a popular monster, Medusa isn’t real.
She is an captivating work of Greek Mythology – BUT what if she was.
I can tell I am going to like this one.
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions….
The channel that at this point will basically answer anything because every question deserves
an answer, or some good old musing.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking WHAT IF MEDUSA was real?
Before we get into this video, I want to ask you guys what your favourite Greek legend
is?
If you don’t know any, that’s okay….you are about to learn about one!
Mine is probably the legend of Pandora’s box!

SO Medusa.
The legend of Medusa goes as follows.
Medusa was a beautiiiiiful and lured in many a suitor.
It is not certain whether Poseidon, the water god, had had consensual sex with her, or if
he raped her, but basically the pair were intimate in Athena’s temple.
Poseidon made off without Medusa, leaving her to answer to the goddess of wisdom and
war, who punished her by turning her into a hideous beast.
A head of hair made of snakes, green skin and red eyes that turned people to stone with
one look, Medusa was monstrously transformed.
She was banished to the island of Sarpedon – which in the modern day is somewhere in
Libya – where she was eventually beheaded.
SO If Medusa were real, it would firstly mean that monsters are legit and gods are not,
as suspected by some, fake news.
Not only that, gods and goddesses have the ability to turn people into monsters?
What a can of life altering worms.
Does this explain blob fish?
For a moment I am just going to leave that whole issues aside by directing you towards
our What if Greek Gods Were Real video… if not we’d never get to old snake face…who
is the subject of our video.
IF Medusa were real then I guess we would want to stear clear of Libya….which for
most people watching - we probably have managed that our whole lives right?
Problem solved….although is it?
In some legends Medusa had wings, but even if she was wingless….she’s a strong powerful
woman who could travel…maybe she would eventually find her way off the Island of Sarpedon and
what then.
What if she was loose and on a rampage?
We’ll I tell you what – there would be an upsurge in mirror sales!
As we know Medusa can turn people to stone with one look….
But apparently she can’t do this if people look at her through mirrors.
Rather like the basilisk in Harry Potter, if Medusa was in your hood, you’d still
be safe to walk around if you turned corners or blind spots using a mirror.
I wonder That way she couldn’t creep up on you.
Maybe we would invent glasses that allow us to view her without being stoneified.
Speaking of the stone thing – like….could this in any way be useful?
Maybe we could befriend Medusa and utilize her services?
Maybe it would be some peoples dying wish to be immortalized in stone?
Think about it, isn’t that cooler?
I bet scientists would want to study her to see if they could find whatever enzyme or
particle magic it is that lets her turn people to mineral with a look….although that would
be dicey… what if Medusa escaped and was enraged….continuing her rampage… then
could she turn whole cities to stone?
Imagine walking through a ghost city with people all stopped in their tracks….stoneified.
If she did rampage, I can imagine that country leaders would try and stop her, maybe even
kill herm but the issue here is that he blood is poisonous!
When Perseus killed her, it is said drops of her blood polluted the earthed and gave
rise to venomous snakes.
It is also said that she was carrying Posidon’s children – Pegasus the winged horse and
Chrysaor – and when she was slain these creatures came into being.
Who knows what would be unleashed if she was killed….would it be a pandoras box of bad?
If I know anything about Greek Mythology the answer is a resounding probably.
If leaders were smart enough to avoid plague and pestilence by not beheading Medusa, would
they instead try and weaponize her for themselves?
Capture her and use her as a weapon of medium destruction?
I don’t think I am the only one who feels kinda sorry for Medusa.
Maybe we could try and cure her of her green skin, snakey hair and eye poison?
She didn’t deserve the fate bestowed upon her at all.
I think a number of Human rights groups would be fighting for justice….if the gods are
real…maybe they can reverse snake her….
One final thought.. but Medusa….. she is basically just an allegory for female character
assassination….which has been happing since long before the ancient Greek times and is
still happening today.
A beautiful woman turned into a monster by circumstance or persecution… a familiar
story and a firm eyebrow raise from me…where are the men turned into snakes for having
sex or getting raped?
SO what would you guys do if Medusa was real?
Is she real in some less literal sense?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Before I go I just want to read some comments from the what if Symbiotes were real
GlitchX Diaris said: Haha I literally watched Venom last night.
Perfect.
Beyond Tubular said: Nickeloden slime time but it is a bunch of symbiotes.
Godzilla 2020 final wars said: What if venom fought the ghost rider?
--- nGreat idea!
