[edit] God of War
Medusa makes an appearance in God of War during the siege of Athens, being given the title of Queen of the Gorgons. As Kratos progressed through the ruins of the city, he met Aphrodite, who commanded to him to slay Medusa and decapitate her. The hissing Gorgon arose from the shadows and fought with Kratos, who eventually tore her head from her body with his bare hands. Pleased, Aphrodite granted the power of Medusa's Gaze to Kratos, who in turn used it to destroy a group of Minotaurs.
Medusa's role as Queen of the Gorgons had come to an end, and it was her sister, Euryale, who would soon replace her.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Like the lesser Gorgons, Medusa has the power to turn Kratos to stone with her gaze. She is also faster than the other Gorgons, making her that much more deadly.
[edit] Trivia
- In God of War II, there's an enemy called a Gorgon Queen, which looks exactly like Medusa from God of War.
- In the Character Graveyard feature in God of War it stated that in production Medusa was going to have legs instead of a snake tail.
