Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows older, experiences change, feels weakness. Her mortal lifespan gives her an urgency that her family will never know.<\/p>\n<p>When the sea god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene\u2019s temple, the goddess is enraged. Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes revenge\u2014on the young woman. Punished for Poseidon\u2019s actions, Medusa is forever transformed. Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone. Cursed with the power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns herself to a life of solitude.<\/p>\n<p>Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon . . .<\/p>\n<p>In Stone Blind, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one of the earliest stories in which a woman\u2014injured by a powerful man\u2014is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault. Delving into the origins of this mythic tale, Haynes revitalizes and reconstructs Medusa\u2019s story with her passion and fierce wit, offering a timely retelling of this classic myth that speaks to us today.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book captivating, amazing, and great for mythology fans.
