A bunch of characters who had their narrative/characterization taken and given to Medusa in retellings bc god forbid retelling authors focus on anyone other than Medusa, Persephone and Hades and god forbid they actually expand on what little lore Medusa does have:
Auge: being a priestess of Athena who was let down by her but then helped last minute.
Triteia: being a priestess of Athena who had intercourse with a male god that Athena doesn’t like (and nowhere does it say she reacts negatively to that mind you).
Cassandra: being a victim of constant abuse and getting raped in a temple only for Athena to avenge her.
Danaids: being a black woman in Ancient Greece and all the baggage that comes with that.
Praxithea: being the first priestess of Athena in Athens.
Bellerophon: resenting the gods and calling them out for their cruelty.
Nyctaea and Corone: being a victim who was transformed in order to protect her.
Io: being a priestess who was abandoned and abused by the goddess she served and later turned into an African goddess.
Andromeda: fucking Perseus being Perseus’s love interest
Megapenthes: being the one who kills Perseus.
