Word origin

The word 'Medusas' is derived from the Greek mythology story of Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters. Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden who was transformed into a monster with snakes for hair by the goddess Athena.

The story of the Medusas has been a popular theme in art, literature, and culture, symbolizing the power of female rage and the consequences of hubris.
