I hope what role Medusa plays in mythology,

In the past, Medusa was a god who specialized in sacrifice and divination, and her spirit was the most powerful snake. Once, Hera asked her to keep a secret of her own, and Medusa accidentally revealed Hera's secret. Hera was furious and deprived Medusa of her strength, light and freedom. . . . At this time, a handsome priest who once worked with Medusa came to comfort her every day because he sympathized with Medusa. Medusa's mood gradually became cheerful. In the dark cell, the priest's comfort is the only reason why Medusa insists on living. The gentle voice of the priest is another light in Medusa's life. For Medusa, this sound is even more than the light she lost.

With the passage of time, the two people gradually fell in love. Finally, one day, the priest summoned up his courage and said to Medusa, Let's fly away, let's escape, give up the position of supreme god and live a free life. Medusa agreed.

The two of them fled to the human world together and lived happily in the Woods by the sea, but they were tipped off by other jealous gods to Hera. Hera angrily decided that they despised her authority and found Medusa in the forest. When Hera found Medusa, the priest happened to be no longer with Medusa. Hera caught Medusa and turned her into a monster with a snake face. The blind Medusa didn't know what had happened to her, so she heard the priest scream.

Hera felt pity when she saw the handsome priest and asked him to leave Medusa and return to the sacred world. The priest refused Hera's proposal of marriage, saying that he wanted to live with Medusa and was willing to exchange everything for Medusa's freedom. Hera said: Even if I let you stay at this time, Medusa is not a god. She's not even a complete person. The priest said that no matter what Medusa became, he would like to be with her. Hera decided to kill Medusa and bring the priest back to the sacred world. The priest begged Hera to spare Medusa, willing to trade her life for Medusa's life, even if it was only a moment of light. Medusa couldn't see what happened, but she heard every word. She begged the priest not to do this and let him return to the sacred world. Hera was even angrier when she saw the two men. She enchanted Medusa and said to the priest, Now your Medusa can see the light. But you have to pay all your costs, are you still willing? It's not too late for you to regret. Hera deliberately kept Medusa from hearing her words and looked into the priest's eyes. The priest looked at Medusa and nodded firmly. Angry Hera shouted to Medusa: Now you can see your lover!

Unsuspecting Medusa opened her eyes and saw the dazzling light. When she turned her eyes to the priest, she only saw a stone statue smiling at herself. The eyes of the stone statue are full of love for Medusa. Medusa rushed over in horror, only to find that she couldn't walk as before. Hera said aside: He bought your light with his life, and what you saw was the light of his life.

From then on, Medusa never left the seaside or opened her eyes, because every time she opened her eyes, she saw the light of life.

Maybe we really misunderstood Medusa. She regretted her behavior so much that she lost the person she loved most. She didn't want to open her eyes again, because she didn't know whether the life of her lover brought her light or whether she lost her life because she saw her lover. Medusa lives by the sea, guarding the stone statue of her lover. Only then can she open her eyes.
