Tokyo ghoul chapter 1 - Tokyo Ghoul :Re chapter 177

320 chapters total and now back to the infamous line

[takealookatyourlife]

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

[gabyluvsxena]

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

[geekremix]

holy shit.

[virtuous-thing]

Feministic mythology is what I’m here for

[digitaldiscipline]

Broke: Medusa was ugly

Woke: Medusa was given the power to protect herself, not punishment

Bespoke: Medusa was also strong as fuck because she had to get rid of a bunch of stone fuckboys that would otherwise clutter up her casa.

[jestermolly]

Okay but no one is actually considering the cultural context here. Medusa is possibly older than the Greek myths. According researchers like Joseph Campbell (of the Hero’s Journey fame), Medusa originated in Minoan Crete as their Great Goddess whose imagery included snakes - she was the goddess of birth, life, and death. When the Mycenaeans (early Greeks) invaded Crete, they replaced worship of the Great Goddess with their own gods and took the imagery of the snake and split it up among their gods - Apollo, Hera, Athena, and Zeus are among those with specific snake symbolism. (Religions taking things from other religions in order to get the other culture to buy into the new religion happens all the time. Christmas is an amalgamation of traditions that the Christians used to get non-Christian cultures interested in Christianity.)

Perseus is specifically mentioned as a Mycenaean hero. So he naturally represents Greece while Medusa is Crete. But Medusa is retold throughout Ancient Greece by several poets and each one is crueler to her than the next simply because Greek society was becoming more and more patriarchal. This myth is not just a historical record, but a way to encourage the subjugation of women. It’s theorized that Medusa’s gaze represents feminine (sexual) power over men and Perseus is male dominance.

But ya’ll are right about the protectress thing. The priestesses of the Minoan Great Goddess wore apotropaic masks meant to scare away intruders. This certainly continued into Greece as the first mention of a gorgon is used apotropaically. Medusa’s wasn’t just invoked for women’s shelters. She was used everywhere: temples, doorways, roofs, kilns, shields, etc. So despite the Greek poets attempts to slander her name, the Greeks themselves remembered who she really was.
