As if anyone would look Medusa in the eyes whilst she's wearing that dress.
dragonsdemesne
I want to see the hotter girl on the right in that dress :)
KilroyLichking
you dont need to look at her eyes to get petrified just seeing her is enough

But... that's not how it works.
Jaqdakloun
Maybe she glanced back
PacMan4Life
This means she looked back, too
rabidpenguine
Yeah, his gaze is a bit low to be her face. Not sure why that would turn him rock hard.
pareidoliaperson
She's wearing buttplug like Itachi wore his ring.
Redyls

MapleSyrupMafia
He'd turn rock hard from looking at her behind, butt nut his entire body!

It's how it works In the original myth. Medusa was described as so hideous that the sight of her turned people into stone, not just her gaze. That's why Perseus had to look at the reflection in his shield to behead Medusa even when she was sleeping. Modern media universally portray Medusa as an attractive woman with snake hair, so now only her gaze has petrifying power.
vorodar
Yeah. And once Perseus slayed her, he also beheaded her and continued using her head to petrify people (like a couple of times at least?) by pulling the head out of a sack and and looking away.
It was, in fact, her curse for supposedly enticing a man into sex. Thus the curse was that she'd not be able to make anyone like her. It'd make no sense the curse to be "well, you're still good looking but can't look at others".
vorodar
And yes, the "enticing a man into sex" is more like "being raped against her will" but it's not like Greek gods are known for their level-headedness and justice, rather than being petty and arbitrary.
KilroyLichking
well...... actually..... we don't get how she turns people to stone in Hesiod's Theogony (oldest telling of the tale {the Greek version 730 BC }) we have to rely on Pulius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) roman version of the story circa 17 AD. and even in that is it vague at best.... 1

Whoa!! KilroyLichking going fully nerd on Greek mythology!!!!!
KilroyLichking
antiquity studies is one of my favorite subjects. if you want to have fun go read Pliney the Elder's 'Natural History'. https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Plin.+Nat.+toc . The man was a G and this book is where we get ~80% of the mythical creatures we are all familiar with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliny_the_Elder
egoAristippos
The Greek Gods are great, wonderful role models!
KilroyLichking
i mean the hero's aren't any better i could do a whole post about how much of a shit heal Perseus is
KilroyLichking
Iv - 803 "And that this might not be unpunished, she changed the hair of the Gorgon into hideous snakes. Now, too, that she may alarm her surprised foes with terror, she bears in front upon her breast, those snakes which she thus produced". and IV 786 "Statues of men and wild beasts turned into stone, from their natural form, at the sight of Medusa; yet that he himself, from the reflection on the brass of the shield which his left hand bore, beheld the visage of the horrible Medusa" 2
KilroyLichking
the myth stats that she may alarm and surprised her foes with terror. and those who beheld her visage man or beast were petrified but Perseus who looked at her through reflection could look upon her sleeping form (that's right he cut her head off while she was sleeping in this version) "while a sound sleep held her and her serpents entranced, he took the head from off the neck" Perseus is kind of a dick in the Ovids myth btw. 3
KilroyLichking
the word translated from latin 'Visus' translates to sight or appearance. so we can generally take it to be that anything that looks at her directly turns to stone. people animals titans, heck later on Perseus burries her head on a beach and doing so turns all the areas seaweed into coral which how would that even work... 4
KilroyLichking
we get ovids version in a later Greek version too in Apollodorus, The Library, book II ( 2 AD {Greek}) and again in this version he kills her while she is asleep. 5

That's quite interesting
