In a twisted tale of Medusa, what if instead of Medusa being slain, she fought for the return of her maidenhood and went up against one of the biggest and most beloved gods in Greek history? Goddess Athena. 

Prince Ryn knew that one day he'd be Archon of Athens. He'd have the gods and goddesses to watch over him and Poseidon would continue to bring prosperity to the land by providing them safe passage through his sea and Athena would continue to provide them with the knowledge to build and maintain relations with other lands.

But all of that is shattered when his father offers him up to be sacrificed to Medusa. As Ryn and Medusa's lives become intertwined together because of their foretold fates, they both fight to change their future. 

But can they truly change their future? Or will they be the death of each other? 

A cursed maiden foretold to die by her own gaze. 

A prince foretold to die an agonizing death in the sea.

In the ancient, mythical city of Aethria, where legends and gods once walked among mortals, a unique and captivating love story unfolds. "Echoes of the Gaze" weaves a tale of two individuals who defy destiny's cruel twists, embracing the beauty within their imperfections.

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology by AsterSxh368
17 parts Ongoing
A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!
