"in the original myth medusa was actually -" "well in the homeric version, achilles wasn't -" "no but in the real myth -"
read what you have just written. in the myth. myth.
these were not real people. myths change and shape to their contemporary situations with every retelling. whoever was telling or writing the myth put in or took out something different and new every time it was told. "accurate myths" are not a thing, I'm sorry. 'accurate to homer's version'? sure, go nuts. but they were never histories, and modern adaptations are not wrong for being different.
