    Medusa was a gorgon in Greek mythology who was transformed by Athena as punishment for being raped by Poseidon. She now has snakes for hair which turn those who look at her to stone. The poem compares Medusa's curse to Penelope's fate of waiting for her husband Odysseus to return home from the Trojan War for 20 years while fending off suitors. Both women endured great suffering and hardship through no fault of their own.
