To be robbed of Medusa's beauty, to witness her pain and suffering, to inherit this "blame the woman" mentality - all poison and loss.<br /><br />I suspect Poseidon suffers still. See how diminished he is? How...nearly irrelevant? He's like a "B" movie star. Last big hit: "The Poseidon Adventure", 1972. <br /><John Carosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735232084655008925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-51777622409933432822011-01-28T10:52:51.563-05:002011-01-28T10:52:51.563-05:00To be fair, Poseidon could probably kick Athena...To be fair, Poseidon could probably kick Athena's ass if he really wanted to, so she's probably deliberately not messing with him directly.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953964286604287597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-35723405772603652952011-01-28T10:06:13.962-05:002011-01-28T10:06:13.962-05:00Nick: I think he's just pretty huge in general...Nick: I think he's just pretty huge in general.<br /><br />Vicky: Yeah-- That Pegasus link is there, I guess, but it seems to me it gets blown way out of proportion in art.

And don't forget, Pegasus the flying horse was born from poor Medusa's bleeding neck after Perseus offed her.<br /><br />Still, not to get too political about it, we sure can see how we came by "blame the woman" for rape thing. As if Medusa coulda stopped him!<br /><br />It's Poseidon who shoulda been punished!

And all because Poseidon was a play-a too.<br /><br />On a lighter note he does have a very nice beehind. I see years of being the god of the Ocean did wonders for his skin.
