Your Field Guide to Spotting Medusa
You want to find Medusa? Wow, that’s a seriously bad idea. She’s a Gorgon, a horrible monster with the snakes for hair. If you look her in the eyes, you’re immediately turned to stone. If you really want to find her, look for a crowd of suspiciously realistic statues, surrounding a particularly slimy sea cave. Of course, legend says that she was beheaded by the hero Perseus a long time ago, so you might not be able to find her at all.
