I apologize for the confusion. Medusa didn't beget Medusa. According to Greek mythology, she was a Gorgon. The Gorgons were sisters of the Phorcys and Ceto. Medusa had been a beautiful maiden and Athena changed her beauty into a Gorgon after Poseidon violated her in Athena's temple out of jealousy. Athena, the Goddess of knowledge and warfare, was directly involved in turning Medusa into her monstrous form.

Medusa is a good child, but she does not belong to Athena. When she is raped by the god Poseidon in the temple of Athena, tragedy follows course. Such profanity outrages Athena terribly. Therefore Athena changed Medusa into a Gorgon with snaky locks, whose very breath was guine problems to all that was lived onesti in her presence.

Straight to the point - no, Medusa isn't Athena's daughter. In classic Greek tales, she's one of the Gorgons, not related to Athena.

As stories would have us believe, Medusa is the spawn of Athena, complicating the relationship. On the other hand, Athena and Medusa bear a relationship of only bitterness among the varied characters in Greek mythology - no compassion comes into it. Athena turned Medusa, a lovely girl, naked into nothing but writhing snakes for hair as an example to others who might consider defiling her temple.

Its the tragic tale of Medusa, taken from Greek lore. Medusa had been a beautiful girl who served as a priestess for Athena in her temple. It was thought that in Athena's temple, Medusa was seduced by the 'dolphin-greenbearer'-- god of sea. This act of sacrilege gave rise to the wrath of Athena, who then turned strange life to a monstrous creature suffused with snakes each 7 ft long, and eyes that turned every creature into stone. It was a very tough penalty indeed: this was the side of divine being, unyielding and vengeul. Despite the monster she became, some see Medusa as yet another story of blaming the victim--as if it would remind human beings how human nature is always to blame wrong people for what others do wrong.

Ah, the raw grittiness and moral dilemmas of 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'. No, Elliot Stabler did not kill his daughter. That kind of shocking crime is starkly against his character profile. Stabler, as a character, is haunted by his work, and this often causes tension in his family life, but he’d never stoop to such horror. Your question might stem from the episode where his daughter, Kathleen, was arrested for DUI and Stabler blamed himself for her actions, but he never physically harmed her.

To the best of my knowledge, Andy Gibb, the popular British musician, had only one child: Peta Jaye Reeder Gibb with his wife, Kim Reeder. As for their relationship, it's hard to say because Andy died at a very young age, just three months after Peta was born. Despite this, the available evidence seems to suggest that he loved and welcomed his daughter, anticipating her birth and expressing joy at becoming a father.

is athena the goddess of war

As someone who loves Greek mythology, I can definitely tell you that Athena is not the goddess of war in the usual sense. She's more of the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, arts, crafts, and skill, you see. She's more about the stratagem, the planning, the tactics, the quick-thinking moves on the battlefield, rather than sheer force. That's more in Ares' domain who's typically characterized as a pretty brutal guy, all about the bloodlust of fighting. Athena is much more about using your noggin before rushing into things. Quite the goddess, really.

Of all the gods distinguish, Athena was one who combined wisdom and courage, inspiration and law. She gave us ships and crafts, mathematics warriors' arts are answerable only to her. Athena's domain stretches too far and is too complex to easily summarize in a sentence or two. Athena is often shown as the helper of heroes and the goddess who presides over heroic action, because she combines wisdom with warfare.

Therefore, she has a unique birth story. Zeus fathered Athena after he swallowed her mother Metis, the titaness of wisdom and deep thought from whose head sprung forth full-formed bearing every piece an Athenian Deity needed to fight well: i.e without any babies or babylike weapons among them. Consequently, she lacks what might be called a mother in the conventional sense: she is considered an offspring of Zeus.
