Greek MythologyEdit

In Greek myth, the legendary Gorgon Medusa had the power to turn anyone who looked directly into her eyes to stone. She was decapitated by Perseus.

In God of WarEdit

Medusa's Gaze is a power given to Kratos in God of War. After killing Medusa for Aphrodite, Kratos keeps Medusa's head and uses its Gorgon powers to turn his enemies into stone. Although this power doesn't work on other Gorgons, all other enemies are turned into stone. Larger enemies take longer to turn into stone than smaller ones. Leveling the magic up further increases its freezing power, and to gain faster attacks with it. At the beginning of God of War II however, this Magic Ability is lost (possibly to the Blade of Olympus) and is later replaced by the Head of Euryale, taken from one of the two remaining Gorgon Sisters.
