Medusa (Assassin's Creed)

==Summary==
The Writhing Dread, better known as Medusa, was a Gorgon, a type of hybrid beast created by the Isu as part of the Olympos Project.
A human would transmute into this creature upon contact with the Prize of the Medusa, one of the four Atlantis artifacts, which it was meant to guard. Upon being slain, the artifact would transform the next human who touched it into the beast.
During the Peloponnesian War the latest victim of this mutation resided in the Petrified Temple within the depths of the Petrified Valley on Lesbos.
At some point an expedition traversed the Valley and encountered the creature. All but one of the expedition party members were turned to stone by the Writhing Dread. Only the mercenary Zetes remained, having used his spear's length to avoid her petrifying gaze. In the end Ligeia, a Daughter of Artemis arrived and dealt the final blow to the creature. Afterwards, Ligeia touched the artifact and transformed into the new Writhing Dread.
At the height of the war, the misthios Kassandra, along with Ligeia's lover Bryce, gained entry into the Petrified Temple with the Gorgon Disk obtained from the Daughters of Artemis, during their search for Ligeia. Encountering Ligeia, now the Writhing Dread herself, Kassandra was forced to kill her after she petrified and destroyed Bryce.
