Medusa Gorgon vs Fate Magus - SpaceBattles

Rider (Medusa) - FateBackgroundMedusa is the True Name of Rider in Fate/stay night. Her character is based off of a creature in Greek mythology. She and her two sisters were known as the Three Gorgon Sisters of the Shapeless Isle. In her legend, she was at first a beautiful woman, but due to Athena’s jealousy, transformed into a demon. Eventually, as commanded by the gods, the hero Perseus cut off her head after reflecting her petrification powers back at her with a shield.What are Medusa’s aliases in the Fate series?Medusa is also known as the “Bewitching Black Servant” and the “Female Monster of Gorgon.”AppearanceIn Fate/stay night, Rider appears as a tall beautiful woman with long straight pink hair that runs nearly the entire length of her body. She wears a sexy black dress with black thigh-highs. Her more recognizable feature is the blindfold she wears over her eyes and the red tattoo on her forehead. In Fate/hollow ataraxia, Medusa is more humanized and doesn’t wear the blindfold. Sometimes, she is seen with glasses on. Her 3rd Ascension form in Fate/Grand Order also presents her without a blindfold on, leaving her eyes visible. PersonalityRider is both sultry and rational. She doesn’t speak much and is extremely loyal to her Master. In all routes of Fate/Stay Night, she is immediately willing to sacrifice her life to protect her Master’s life, whether it be Shinji or Sakura. She likes alcohol, snakes, and reading, but hates mirrors.AbilitiesRider (Medusa) is an expert in close-combat. When

A small nerdy child who was a little too obsessed with reading stories about gods, goddesses, monsters, and heroes, some of my research for this feature caused pools of familiarity to well up in my brain. For the most part, however, I found myself learning a lot! And I think now I'm even more fascinated with how Fate chops and rearranges classic characters and narratives into a big messy pile of colorful anime nachos. Even if proper care and thoughtfulness isn't always Fate's chief concern (and boy, sometimes I wish it were), its eagerness to be in conversation with human history is infectious.GORGON & ANAThe Fate series is rarely content to draw stories and characters from only one set of mythology. The Gorgons should be familiar figures to my fellow fans of the Greek myths. Medusa herself is probably one of the most famousmonsters in the history of Western literature, so I won't go into too much detail for her background. One thing of note, however, is that all three Gorgon sisters—Medusa, Stheno, and Eurayale—are eligible for summoning in FGO canon, and they're depicted as reclusive divine spirits, not grotesque monsters. Fate's take on their story consequently resembles a metanarrative more so than a straightforward adaptation. Their perception as monsters instigates their tragedy.In Fate's version, Athena banishes Medusa to the Shapeless Isle, and her two sisters tag along to keep her company. Not content with mere banishment, however, Athena also creates rumors about a monster named Medusa to lure witless heroes to their isle looking for glory. Medusa takes it upon herself to defend her sisters, but the ceaseless onslaught of deluded challengers gradually wears her down until she gives in, physically and mentally, to becoming a monster. Her body turns into the powerful snake-haired and petrification-happy creature from legend, and she devours her sisters, completing her transformation into the Gorgon that Perseus eventually slays.This is the large and in-charge Gorgon who gets summoned to Babylonia as a stand-in for the primordial goddess Tiamat. In Fate parlance, she's a member of the “extra” class Avenger due to her single-minded concern with extracting revenge for what was done to her. I'm glad there's at least an acknowledgment from the story that Medusa was dealt an extremely shitty hand for her to end up in this situation, but I don't think Babylonia delves into the Medusa legend deep enough to extract any thesis beyond “people suck.” It's a shame, because there's a lot of room for interesting contemporary takes on her legend.What I do like, however, is the resolution to Gorgon's role in Babylonia. When she gets summoned, a younger version of her also gets summoned, almost like a counterweight. Again, one of the neat quirks of Fate is that Heroic Spirits aren't limited to one version of a character from one point in their life. This small Medusa goes by “Ana” when she meets our heroes, and we can imagine her as Medusa before her banishment or very soon after. She's

Medusa Gorgon (Fate/Stay Night) - Legends of the Multi Universe

It was created by Gaia and killed by Zeus.The later Gorgon sisters were not the same monster, but a later generation of the same type. These were the creations of Hesiod’s stories and the legend of Perseus.It is more likely, however, that the legends of the Gorgons came from two separate traditions.Since only one of the Gorgons plays a particularly important role in the story, it seems likely that the legend of the three sisters was an addition to the myth rather than the original version of the story. This trio of sisters may have been intended as a dark version of a tripartite goddess.Three-part deities are a common theme in ancient mythology, particularly in Indo-European tradition. The Norns of Norse mythology, the Morrigan and Brigid in Ireland, and the Hindu Tridevi are examples of this motif.Many Greek goddesses are not explicitly named as a single being in three parts, but are often interpreted within this archetype. Gaia, Rhea, and Demeter, for example, are often seen as three closely-bound earth goddesses.It is possible that the Gorgon, one of the most terrifying monsters of Greek mythology, was imagined by some to be an evil counterpart to a three-part goddess.In SummaryIn Greek mythology, the Gorgon often refers specifically to Medusa. The subject of Perseus’s quest, she is one of the most iconic monsters in Greek lore.Medusa was not the only Gorgon, however. According to most sources, she had two sisters that lived alongside her.Unlike Medusa, Sthenno and Euryale could not be killed. Greek writers never specified why only one Gorgon sister was mortal.Nor were the sisters ever described as fully as Medusa. While some later writers claimed that Sthenno had a scream that was as deadly as Medusa’s gaze, this does not seem to fit the legend of how Perseus escaped by becoming invisible.In fact, some writers did not seem to agree that there were three Gorgons at all. Homer mentioned only one, while other authors said that a single Gorgon was born from Gaia to fight alongside the Gigantes.While Greco-Roman writers rationalized this singular Gorgon as a separate creature, it is

Medusa, Gorgon Arrange Outfit Art - Fate/Extella: The Umbral

The story of Perseus’s defeat of the Gorgon is one of the most legendary in Greek mythology. With the help of the gods, the hero was able to kill one of the most terrifying monsters in the world.While Perseus beheaded Medusa, however, he still left two Gorgons alive. These were Medusa’s sisters, who were dangerous monsters in their own right.Who were the Gorgon sisters and why did Perseus not kill them as well? Read on to find out!Medusa and Her SistersThe Gorgons are mentioned in some of the earliest works of Greek literature.In the Iliad, Homer says that the head of the Gorgon is prominently displayed on Athena’s aegis. Agamemnon has a similar shield that shows the image of the Gorgon to inspire fear and dread.The Gorgon was mentioned again in the Odyssey. When Odysseus travels to the Underworld, he fears that Persephone will send the head of the Gorgon out of the house of Hades to attack him.Homer, however, mentions only one Gorgon and does not give her name. Hesiod would write the story that would become well-known.Hesiod claimed that the head mentioned in Homer’s works was that of only one Gorgon, Medusa. She and her sisters, Sthenno and Euryale, were daughters of the sea gods Phorcys and Keto.Attic tradition, however, said that the Gorgons were created specifically to be enemies of the gods. They were created by Gaia to help the giants in their war against Zeus and the Olympians.According to Hesiod, the Gorgon sisters made their home on the farthest side of the western sea. Later writers would identify this as Libya, and in the Roman era Virgil said that it was at the gates of the Underworld.The story of Perseus seems to have already been known by the time Hesiod wrote in about 700 BC. He does not recount the entire story, but instead mentions it as though most people were already familiar with the details of the myth.In these, Medusa is said to be the only one of the Gorgon sisters who is mortal. Although Perseus is sent to kill her, her sisters cannot die. Fate grand order-gorgon. Fate Medusa. Medusa Rider. Rider Medusa. Medusa Fate. Rider Fate. Fantasy Animation. Medusa Gorgon. Fate Art.

So he instead has to avoid them.To do this, Perseus received help from the gods. The cloak of invisibility that belonged to Hades allowed him to escape the lair of the Gorgon sisters without being seen after he killed Medusa.While the tradition of there being three Gorgon sisters was established early on, they and their abilities were not fully explained until much later.Early writers, for example, did not mention whether or not Medusa looked any different than her sisters.Hesiod only said that the Gorgon sisters had jagged teeth and snakes hanging at their belts, even saying that they were “indescribable.” The infamous snake hair of Medusa did not appear in his description.By the 5th century BC this was well-established in art and literature, but the appearances of Medusa’s sisters were still unknown.Later writers would make Sthenno and Euryale resemble their sister more, even as Medusa took on a more human appearance in art.Nor did ancient writers specify what powers or abilities the Gorgon sisters possessed. Some later writers would say that Sthenno’s scream could kill a man, but this seems at odds with the story of Perseus and his escape from their lair.While Medusa was one of the most iconic and memorable monsters in Greek mythology, Sthenno and Euryale played only a minor role in the story and were never as well-developed.My Modern InterpretationThe tradition of the three Gorgon sisters appears to not be the only one in Greek mythology.Although Homer and Hesiod lived at roughly the same time, they were from different parts of the Greek world. Homer was from mainland Greece, possibly Ionia, while Hesiod was born in Lydia in Asia Minor.This meant that, particularly in a time when legends were passed through oral tradition instead of writing, the two authors likely heard different versions of the stories.Such regional variations could explain why Hesiod wrote about three Gorgon sisters while Homer mentioned only a single monster. They could also account for the different legends of their parentage.Later writers would try to rationalize the discrepancies by saying that there had once been a single Gorgon that fit Homer’s description.

The Myth of the Gorgon Medusa

Board challenge relating to all Mythical Monster Bosses that gives an extra special reward — one of the Ultimate Armors. We've got all of that covered at the end of the guide. Ozomene The Harpy - Valley Of Eternal Spring The first and easiest Mythical Monster to tackle is Ozomene the Harpy. Additionally, it's the easiest as eventually, Athena will guide you to it as a quest if you really don't know where to look. However, if you want to get there earlier, Ozomene can be found on an island to the west of the Valley of Eternal Spring mainland. It has a large cyclone of wind shooting out of it, so it's pretty hard to miss. How To Defeat Ozomene The Harpy Like other harpies in the game, Ozomene will use many aerial attacks but will pause occasionally giving you a chance to strike. Fiery explosive coals will appear on the battlefield too, and you can use these against your foe. There will also be times when Ozomene falls to the ground panting, and during this phase, she will summon some normal harpies to attack you. Lastly, during the battle, Ozomene will fly to the higher area on the island, and you must follow to continue fighting. The reward for defeating Ozomene are the Wings of the Hideous. Medusa The Gorgon - Grove Of Kleos On yet another island that is rather conspicuous due to the fog around it, you will find arguably the most recognizable of all the Mythical Monster bosses — Medusa the Gorgon. The island is northwest of the Grove of Kleos mainland. How To Defeat Medusa The Gorgon Unlike the other gorgons that you encounter very often throughout your travels, Medusa can petrify you into stone and she will do so regularly. It doesn't last.

Medusa and the Gorgons: The Origins of

Cognizant of her life's eventual tragedy, and that causes her to withdraw from others, but she still possesses an open-enough mind to see the good in people, alongside the bad. I think she's kind of a one-note character for most of the anime, but her last stand against Gorgon is both clever and heart-wrenching. Perseus famously defeats Medusa by looking at her reflection. Ana, similarly, defeats Gorgon by forcing her to look at herself as she once was.QUETZALCOATLAs we jump to yet another continent and yet another millennium, we find ourselves looking at the Aztec god of wind, the feathered serpent Quetzalcaotl. While her namesake is the Mesoamerican deity, Babylonia's Quetzalcoatl is an odd bird whose personality and powers are rooted in everything from modern-day Mexico to dinosaurs. In fact, you could probably make a strong argument that the Aztecs wouldn't be too pleased to learn that one of their major deitiesnow speaks with an affectation based on the language of Cortés. But they might have also been really big sakuga fans, so who's to say.Quetz as a whole is a character of contradictions. The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice, and Babylonia deliberately preys on that preconception before she becomes an ally. Turns out, however, she's just a big fan of lucha libre and pushing people to their limits. Interestingly enough, there are actually some legends that say the mythological Quetzalcoatl wasn't too hot on human sacrifice either. Like Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl was also associated with the planet Venus,which is one reasonable explanation for why she manifested as a woman in Babylonia (although Fate rarely constrains itself by the boundaries of reason when it comes to Servants). She also has a giant pet pterosaur from the genus Quetzalcoatlus for reasons that I hope are obvious, if very silly. This is also why she's in the Rider class. She rides the dinosaur that was named after her.Quetz might be a very silly character, but I like her a lot, and there aren't too many other characters in Fate with roots in Latin American culture and history. While she might not be the most carefully-considered avatar of representation, she's a lot of fun to watch and listen to.MERLINIt simply wouldn't be a Fate article if I didn't get to talk about some Arthurian mythology. If you're anything like me, you watched The Sword in the Stone a lot while growing up, and consequently Merlin's name conjures a mental image of a very old man with a very pointed hat and a very long white beard. Fate's version of Merlin is very much not that. He's a handsome, roguish troublemaker with a questionable moral compass, but if anything, he's more accurate to the primary legends than any Disney movie.Fate's Merlin is a half-human half-incubus, which is consistent with the origin written by Geoffrey of Monmouth (the guy often regarded as most singularly responsible for kicking off the Arthurian canon). As such, he considers himself separate, though not separated, from the other humans around him. This
