Hail Medusa, The beautiful maiden, Humble and str

Hail Medusa, 
The beautiful maiden,
Humble and strong.
Such was your devotion to Athena,
That you vowed to be chaste and serve your mistress.
But you could not escape Posidon's lecherous gaze.
When he couldn't seduce you, he raped you in the sacred temple.
Your mistress worried more about the desecration of her temple,
Than the injustice done to you.
Cursed with a mane full of serpants,
And a gaze that turned any man into a stone.
Yes, Punished for being raped!
The Gods owe you an apology.
Many of your sisters in this mortal world,
Still share your fate, fair maiden.
You are Ahaliya
The chaste woman who turned into stone...
