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.

Two daughters? Medusa had two sons, Chrysaor and Pegasus, and two immortal sisters, Stheno and Euryale.

social media was a good development because back in ancient greece it didn’t exist and people would just be yelling their opinions in the city square instead and the only way to block them was murder or exile

Whats is the meaning of: memori morti

I think you mean “memento mori”?

Well that means something like “remember you will die”. It shows people the inevitability of Death.

At first something similar was said by some man, to a triumphant, to just make him aware that he might peak today, but tomorrow he could be death. So you have to be aware of the fragility of humans, regardless of your (high or low) position. (it was never really stated by some writer but it was told so, though)

After that, the Christian religion used memento mori to show people they could die tomorrow, and when you died, you should make sure you go to heaven, so you should be without (big) sins. So it was just telling people should always just act the way they should (how god/Church told them), and act correctly, instead of the “Carpe diem” idea which told people to just live for the day and do whatever you wanted to, not taking notice of what could be of you tomorrow.

And then later, there came Karl Marx. He used memento mori, to show people we might be a little different now, some might act like they’re a higher rank than others for example, but we all have to remember we will die sometime, and then, we will all be equal: dead. So his essence was to tell people that at the end we’re all the same.

Hope it helped you a bit :)

why did “people deserve to live” become a controversial thought?
