Myth Comic Strip Medusa
Storyboard Text
- "Once upon a time, a long time ago there lived a beautiful maiden named Medusa. Medusa lived in the city of Athens in a country named Greece- and although there were many pretty girls in the city, Medusa was considered the most lovely."
- "When she wasn't busy sharing her thoughts about her beauty with all who passed by, Medusa would gaze lovingly at her reflection in the mirror."
- "The Parthenon was the largest temple to the goddess Athena in all the land...Everyone who entered was awed by the beauty of the place and couldn't help but think of how grateful they were to Athena, the goddess of wisdom..."
- "When Medusa reached the altar she sighed happily and said, 'My, this is a beautiful temple. It is a shame it was wasted on Athena for I am so much prettier than she is- perhaps someday people will build an even greater temple to my beauty.'"
- "...it was the face of Athena that Medusa saw reflected back to her. 'Vain and foolish girl.' Athena said angrily...'beauty fades swiftly in all mortals. It does not comfort the sick, teach the unskilled or feed the hungry. And by my powers, your loveliness shall be stripped away completely. Your fate shall serve as a reminder to others to control their pride.'"
- "With those words, Medusa's face changed to that of a hideous monster. her hair twisted and thickened into horrible snakes that hissed and fought each other atop her head... With that, Athena sent Medusa with her hair of snakes to live with the blind monsters-the gorgon sisters- at the ends of the earth, so that no innocents would be accidentally turned to stone at the sight of her."
