For some she is a monster,
A deadly beast that can turn anyone into stone.
But, is she really a monster?
Or an innocent soul, left to wander alone.
She is a victim of Poseidon's crime,
Yet she was the one to blame.
She was punished on behalf of someone else,
Hiding stories of her pain.
Or, as one could argue,
She was given such a power that no man will ever graze at her.
As, lonely as she was.
There was no one as powerful as her.
It is a mythical story, but the story has deep meaning behind it. It's often the victim's that gets shamed in the society in the face of her dress or behaviour. But no, it's the dark mentality of them.
