A modern Medusa revisits her tragic origin story.

 Disguised as a blind woman, Medusa navigates her way through modern society where the gods and other mythological figures roam about amongst their mortal playthings. Still carrying the weight of centuries-old abuse -- raped by Poseidon and transformed by Athena-- Medusa tries to learn her place in a world that often shows cruelty toward those who suffer. Is she a victim, a survivor, or simply a monster?

Inspired by various interpretations of the Medusa myth and both Athena and Poseidon's involvement in her transformation.
