Talk:Medusa

Merge

I, for one, agree with the merge proposal. On the other hand, though, 'Medusa' is as much a unique character in the mythology as, say, Ligeia. Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:19, November 12, 2018 (UTC)

We are trying to determine if Medusa was just a previous holder of the Prize and thus earlier incarnation of the Writhing Dread and Zero-elec asked Mel via twitter who in barely understandable English seems to confirm that Medusa was her own person that was corrupted by the artifact just as Ligeia was her own person corrupted by the artifact.

The Tweet confirms that the Writhing Dread that Perseus defeated was an individual consumed by the artifact, just like Ligeia. It doesn't confirm that Medusa was the birth name of the individual who he defeated though. This means that the name Medusa is still likely one attributed to the beast, rather than the transumated host. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 13:24, November 12, 2018 (UTC)

The question asked though was in regards to Medusa being a specific person separate from the Writhing Dread; that was the whole reason Zero-Elec contacted Mel. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 13:33, November 12, 2018 (UTC)
