Bookroo's summary

Medusa, once a beauty cursed by Athena, became a feared Gorgon. Her story, twisted by Zeus to glorify Perseus, hides the truth. Now, Hades steps in to unveil the real tale of betrayal, jealousy, and power. What secrets will emerge as the god of the underworld sets the record straight on this ancient myth?

From the publisher

In Greek mythology, Medusa was a Gorgon – a winged monster with snakes for hair. Anyone who looked at her was instantly turned to stone. But she wasn’t born that way. Not even close. Athena was so jealous of Medusa’s beauty that she cursed her. Zeus changed the story to make his son, Perseus, look good. Hades is here to set the record straight on Perseus, Medusa, and everything in between.
