How did Athena help Perseus kill the monster Medusa?
She showed him pictures of Medusa and her sistersnewtest3
What does Medusa have to do with Athena?
Athena was the one that cursed Medusa. She caught Medusa, then a beautiful sea nymph, meeting with Poseidon in one of her temples. Athena was so mad that she cursed Medusa with snake hair and eyes that will turn people into stone. This is probably why Athena helped Perseus kill Medusa and then placed Medusa's head on her shield.
Why did Athena send a man to kill Medusa?
Medusa was once very beautiful but a man was sent out to kill her and she asked for Athena's protection but Athena refused and Athena cursed her. Medusa couldn't kill women so she was sent to a chamber (that is now hers) were no women could go. every man that ever went in there never came back out.
Who helped perseus kill Medusa?
Athena and Hermes helped Perseus kill Medusa.
Who did Hercules kill Medusa?
Hercules did not kill Medusa, Perseus did. And he did it by using the back of the Aegis, the shield of Zeus and later Athena, to see her reflection and avoid looking her in the eyes.
