Highlights

Medusa was considered the most beautiful girl in Athens, Greece.

Medusa was very proud of her beauty and constantly boasted about it.

Medusa's vanity led her to believe she was more beautiful than the goddess Athena.

Athena punished Medusa for her arrogance by turning her into a hideous monster with snakes for hair.

Medusa's reflection could turn anyone who saw it into stone.

Athena sent Medusa to live with the Gorgon sisters at the ends of the earth.

In Ancient Greece, gods and goddesses often watched over towns and villages.

Poseidon, the lord of the sea, enjoyed watching over coastal towns.

Athena and Poseidon both claimed a new coastal village as their own.

Athena and Poseidon held a contest to determine who would be the guardian of the village.

Poseidon's gift was a stream, but the water turned out to be salty and undrinkable.

Athena's gift was an olive tree, which provided multiple benefits to the villagers.

The villagers did not want to anger Poseidon, but he chose Athena as the winner of the contest.

The village was named Athens in honor of Athena, who became their guardian and helped them rise to fame.
