You have to respect that she actually showed her ass. She could have just said it and turned him to stone.

Maybe Medusa is just a kind lady trying to defend herself

[-] Kyyrypyy@lemmy.world 50 points 11 months ago

Well, according to the legend, by Ovid, she most likely is. She is described as a fair haired maiden, which results Poseidon forcim himself upon her in the temple of Pallas Athene, and therefore Athene punished Medusa by making her hair venomous snakes, and her gaze to turn people to stone.

She was genuinely a victim, and had all the reason for defending heeself, while probably being more kind than any other character mentioned in association with her. Hell, the reason she was killed was that some dude didn't have a horse to give to another dude, so he sent his son to get medusas help. And then that kid had divine aid for killing Medusa, who up to this point has been nothing but a victim for the entertainment of gods.

But Ovid also had daddy issues and changed the original Greek myth to fit his anti-authoritarian views

Reminds me of that Oglaf comic where the dude wouldn't stop staring at her tits.

Forever frozen in rock with a boner. What a way to be remembered!

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago

Just imagine someone finding it and putting it in a museum. His knob would be pristinely glossy like all the other statues with tits or other grabby parts lol.

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Rub the boner for good luck!

[-] EsteemedRectangle@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 11 months ago

That part always falls off

[-] dodslaser@feddit.nu 4 points 10 months ago

They don't fall off, they're removed by the priesthood because they're ~~jealous~~ ~~horny~~ pious.

So is that how we got all those Greek statues? Like they valued small pp, so they sent people to be tested against Medusa, and that's also why they always have this thinking expression, they're trying their best to suppress that boner.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Even better a covered boner, schrodinger's dong it both is and isn't an absolute baseball bat.

There is a corpse from the pomeji volcano erruption where the guy tried to errupt something else

[-] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 23 points 11 months ago
