Adventure As A Snake Goddess by MAnonymus18

It was supposed to be an ordinary, peaceful day. All she wanted was to relax, grow a bit, maybe soak up some sun-nothing crazy after dealing with the past. It was her way to become a goddess. There were many memories and adventure that she went through but she felt it was time for retirement. But no, of course, fate had other plans. Instead of lounging around, she found herself to be hunted. Apparently, some ancient godly decree said humans had to be spared... which she found incredibly inconvenient. Stumbling upon many people who live and die over time. Until... Enter a tiny snake, full of righteous fury. "I want to kill all of you humans so much!" She hissed, shaking her little tail in frustration. She was currently trapped in the hands of a man whose eyes glowed with an unnatural light. He simply stared down at her, entirely unfazed by her threats. It was strange though that he had an odd scent on himself. "You want my deadly bite!" She added, her voice full of venom. Instead of trembling in fear like any reasonable person would, the man just looked... amused. Great. Out of all the humans, she had to get stuck with this guy who was still oddly strange.

The War of Olympus: Stone & Steel by Zenderfall

🥉 3rd Place - Best Ensemble (Starfish Awards 2025) -Stargate meets Percy Jackson in this action-packed Greek Mythology retelling! Humanity's salvation lies not in the future-but in the ancient past. Cursed, forsaken and hunted, Medusa lives in exile, her name whispered in fear. Branded a monster and forced into solitude, she has long abandoned hope of redemption-or connection. She survives, but without purpose. Desperate to save a crumbling world, the U.S. Army's Strategic Recruitment Battalion journeys back in time to 1400 BCE, seeking powerful allies from myths-and finds Medusa, a legend forged in pain and fury. Thrust into a war between gods and mortals, Medusa confronts the fractures within herself: the misery of loneliness, the hunger for meaning, and a yearning for something more than survival. For the first time, she begins to hope-not just for herself, but also for others. But the gods are watching. And one is prepared to destroy everything-past and future-to keep the ancient order intact. As divine wrath collides with modern warfare in a tale of power, identity, and love, Medusa fights to reclaim her story from the hands of fate. New chapters every Saturday at 7:00 AM Pacific!

Laurels and Hemlock by KaraMae246

I know Sci-Fi isn't everyone's cup of tea; this may or may not surprise you. I originally posted this 2 years ago as an answer to a writing challenge: A blind woman in love with Medusa. I was rather baffled because romance was not in my wheelhouse. But I gave it a shot and made shiny Sci-Fi out of it. A bit of a blurb: Medusa attends a party, was drugged and S.A 'd by Poseidon. Her brother's behavior embarrasses her so Athena punishes Medusa for "seduction of a full noble" by twisting Medusa's powers to heal into an uncontrollable killing glare, and execution later at Athena's convenance. We catch up with Medusa so years later on her last day, she spends the day with her lover. And they both meet their fates by the hand of Perseus. But a furious Queen Hera has other ideas. The beginning of a titanic war, the likes of which hasn't been seen since humankind escaped their original universe.

Serpent and Stone by PaintingTheRosesRed

❛The hero isn't supposed to love the monster...❜ A retelling of the story of Medusa. Medusa has been cursed since birth, a monster feared and hated by all. Longing to see the world but resigned to her cruel fate, Medusa expects to spend the rest of her days alone on her island, where she cannot hurt anyone. When a wounded soldier suddenly appears on her shores, Medusa begins to wonder if the Fates have another destiny in store for her.

The Gorgon Queen by ZandraSko

"I hate snakes. "I know that's hard to believe considering how my story ends. But it's true, I hate them." Before she became a legend, she was only a girl who wanted her life to have meaning. When 18 year old Medusa promises her Mother to find three stones known as The Deity Stones, little does she know the journey she will go on. With the help of her best friend Athena, the brave and mighty Perseus and the attractive but mysterious Orion, Medusa will learn more about herself and the people around her and just maybe, you don't know her story as well as you thought you did. After all, every legend has a beginning.

Petals Of Vengeance by KJMyers800

In a modern city cloaked in wealth and silence, Medusa lives under the name Zena, hiding her mythic identity behind enchanted contact lenses and a quiet life as an artifact restoration specialist at a prestigious museum. Her hands mend broken relics, but her soul remains cold-scarred by betrayal, centuries of exile, and the cruelty of men. By night, she becomes something else. Her serpents awaken, her eyes burn with ancient fury. When she gazes upon a rapist, he doesn't just turn to stone-he crumbles into dust, erased from existence. No body. No evidence. No trace. Only silence. Only justice. Her targets are chosen by Lina, a survivor Medusa once saved. Lina is now a criminology student by day and works as a digital ghost by night, infiltrating encrypted forums and survivor networks to identify predators who hide behind power and privilege, through their digital software called SerpentSight. Together, they form a secret alliance-vengeance delivered in whispers. Then comes Alex-a demisexual visual artist with a shattered heart. Years ago, Alex was manipulated and emotionally abused. Now, Alex paints in solitude, exploring myth and memory, trying to reclaim his life. He meets Zena at the museum during an artist residency. Their connection is slow, built on shared silences, mutual respect, and the ache of survival. Alex senses something ancient in Zena-something dangerous, but also deeply human. As their bond deepens, Lina uncovers a predator embedded in the art world: a powerful gallery owner running a female human trafficking ring, using art shows as a front to exploit vulnerable women. Survivors are silenced, sold, and erased. Medusa must decide: strike again and risk losing her humanity, or let Alex help her rewrite the narrative through art, truth, and rebellion.

Festival Of The Gods [OLD VERSION] by Minosta

What would you do if, after getting drunk in a party and passing out somewhere you don't remember, you woke up in a cart that is pulled by a horse with two people speaking weird language and wearing white sheets over their bodies? You panic, obviously. Era never believed in Gods and magic. Why? Because it wasn't explained by scientists. She doesn't even change her view when she is thrown down the time hole and back to the ancient Greece -time when people believed in everything, especially Gods of the Olympus. But her talk of "Gods don't exist" lands her into a festival of the Gods - a festival where people marked by one of the Gods of the Olympus fight for their life by performing something sociated with the god that they represent. And she is supposed to survive when she is marked by the God of the Underworld himself. He goes by the name of Hades. 2# in Festival 2018/05/20 123# in Gods 2018/05/26 2# in Ancient Greece 2018/05/31 Cover by PhoenixOfStorys

The Medusa Deception by lindatemple

Caged, trussed, shackled and hunted, Mandy must come to terms with her past and fight for her future in a bloody battle to the finish with even more at stake than she knows. * * * Bringing legend back to life in this present-day fantasy thriller, the Medusa Deception gives readers a glimpse of ancient Greece and the gods - their thirst for power and revenge - their treachery and lies.

The Last Priestess (Untold Medusa Story) by Jinsiix

Medusa was never the monster they feared-only the girl they misunderstood. Living quietly in a village near Athena's temple, Medusa is devoted, sharp-minded, and driven by purpose. She dreams not of beauty or power but of becoming a priestess-serving the goddess with knowledge, healing, and faith. But when divine attention collides with mortal envy, her life takes a turn the gods never warned her about. Told from Medusa's own voice, The Last Priestess is a powerful reimagining of an ancient myth-one of quiet strength, sacrifice, and a fate rewritten.
