About this listen

Daughter. Sister. Priestess. Protector.

Son. Brother. Demi-God. Hero.

Monsters.

Gifted and burdened with beauty far beyond that of mere mortals, Medusa seeks sanctuary with the Goddess Athena. But when the lustful gaze of mighty Poseidon falls upon her, even the Temple of Athena cannot protect her.

Young Perseus embarks on a seemingly impossible quest. Equipped with only bravado and determination, his only chance of success lays in the hands of his immortal siblings.

Medusa and Perseus soon become pawns of spiteful and selfish gods. Faced with the repercussions of Athena's wrath Medusa has no choice but to flee and hide. But can she do so without becoming the monster they say she is?

History tells of conquering heroes. Tales distorted by time. Medusa's truth has long been lost. Until now. Now it is time to hear her truth.

Revel in this powerful retelling of one of mythologies greatest tales today.

Another great book by Hannah Lynn, and this narrator is a perfect fit! Will always be one of my favourite Greek mythology writers :)

Such a good Medusa story!!

This is an interesting and heart rending take on the Medusa myth. The narrator pronounces some of the greek names in a strange interpretation which I found off putting. The writer over uses certain words such as 'cerulean'. Quite a good story, let down by lazy editing

interesting take, poor pronunciation and repetitive langugafe

I've read all the other books in the Grecian women series, but this one wasn't nearly as good as the others.

There's too much deviation away from the original story and doesn't explore the complexities and different perspectives that her other books do.

shame as Medusa is my favourite Greek myth
