Third person POV
Medusa is best known for having hair made of snakes and for her ability to turn anyone she looked at to stone, literally to petrify ..... she was one of three Gorgon sisters born to Keto and Phorkys, primordial sea gods; Medusa was mortal, while the others, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal.
Medusa, also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone.
She was lovely, according to the poem—until she was raped in Athena's temple by Poseidon. Athena then punished her for this violation, by turning her into the monstrous, stony-glanced creature that we know. Yes: punished for being raped. she's not always monstrous.
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
Legend states that Medusa was once a beautiful, avowed priestess of Athena who was cursed for breaking her vow of celibacy. She is not considered a goddess or Olympian, but some variations on her legend say she consorted with one. When Medusa had an affair with the sea god Poseidon, Athena punished her.
But Medusa's reign doesn't end just yet.
Because her descendant, her reincarnation, her child will come fourth and avenge the heartache and tragic past she has went through. When? Why? How? Nobody knows, but the gods know it's gonna happen, she knows it's gonna happen.
That is why as soon as he is reincarnated, they will kill him, he will come back stronger, faster, and smarter. They have to kill him, or he is gonna destroy the world, that is in the prophecy, that's what is gonna happen, and the gods want to change that, to change fate.

He walked out of his house with his little sister holding his hand. He made sure to tighten her backpack around her back so it wouldn't fall. As they walked she would ask questions about the gods and their world.
They would talk about Poseidon and Zeus, and all the other gods. The evil gorgon Medusa. She didn't think she was evil, just misunderstood. He nodded along to whet she was saying, he always was interested in the Greek gods.
He walked her into her school and signed her in. He knelt down to her level and gave her a hug, he pulled back and smiled at her "make sure to thank the goddess Athena for keeping you safe" he told her. The little girl shook her head.
"I'll always thank you for keeping me safe priamos" she stated happily, smiling from ear to ear. He ruffled her hair and sent her off to class. He stood up again and made his way out of the building to his school, which he didn't like that much.
It's not like he was bullied or anything, he just was very introverted. He liked things quiet and calm, that didn't mean he didn't want friends or didn't have friends, he just preferred to be alone, there was nothing wrong with that.
When he walked into school he instantly heard conversation about 'the other world' where the Greek gods lived. They basically controlled the world and everyone in it, it's not like they were bad, he just didn't like what they did.
Yes he was interested in the gods but it's not like he was going to dive into all this info on it, he liked them but he wasn't obsessed like other people were. He placed his stuff in his locker and went to go to class but sudden commotion stopped him.
A golden light suddenly emitted from the entrance of the school, it looked more of a aura then a light. It got closer and closer until a figure was standing in the gate with two men flanking them, it was like anything any of them has ever seen.
Something was definitely going on and they didn't know wether it was going to be a good thing or a bad one.
