Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes is a brilliant feminist retelling of the Medusa myth that gives voice to one of mythology's most misunderstood monsters.
Medusa was once a beautiful young woman, a priestess devoted to Athena. But when Poseidon assaults her in Athena's temple, it is Medusa who is punished—transformed into a monster with snakes for hair and a gaze that turns men to stone. Exiled to a remote island, she becomes the creature everyone fears, her story twisted into a tale of monstrosity rather than victimhood.
Natalie Haynes masterfully reimagines this ancient myth from multiple perspectives, including Medusa herself, her sisters, and the gods who shaped her fate. With wit, compassion, and scholarly insight, she reveals the truth behind the legend and asks: who is the real monster?
