Medusa lived in a city called Athens. Out of all the pretty girls in the city she was considered the most lovely. The people of Athens weren't the only ones who mentioned her beauty, but Medusa herself knew she was beautiful. Each day Medusa would boast about her looks and how beautiful she was. Everyday was different. One day she said “My hair glows brighter than the sun”. Every day she talked about a different feature and how it was better than something else. If Medusa wasn’t telling people about her looks she was staring at her own reflection in the mirror.
“One day I shall explore a different land and express my beauty” she said while brushing her hair down in the mirror, and Medusa took her own words. A week later she was traveling to the Parthenon with two close friends, Aella and Delia. Parthenon was one of the largest temples to the goddess Athena. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and military victory.
“I am the smartest” Athena said while having two guys fan her. Athena was the daughter of Zeus and Zeus was the supreme ruler of all Gods. Athena smiled brushing the guys away once she had enough. She sat up to see three girls walking towards her. Her eyes widen as she quickly signaled her boyfriend, Cyrus “Who are these women ?” she asks.
“Probably just tourist” he said with his strong Greek accent. Athena frowned “Excuse me, ladies !” she stood up walking over towards Medusa, Aella, and Delia. Medusa smiled, but she wasn't smiling at anybody. She was smiling at Cyrus. Athena looks back at her boyfriend looking back at Medusa “He’s mines” she growls. Medusa laughs “I don’t want your silly boy” she says.
Athena cooled her temper down before simply asking the three girls if they were just visiting. They all nodded....

... middle of paper ...

.... She went to express her beauty somewhere else and she’s going back with no beauty.
Meanwhile, Athena was on her knees begging her father for forgiveness. “I’m sorry father !” she cried “I was just so jealous. I felt like she was going to take everything from me. Even Cyrus !” she explained asking for his forgiveness. Her father stood before her shaking his head. His arms were folded “I taught you better Athena !” he screamed and with that he disappeared. She never believed the term “jealousy is a sin”. She sinned against her father because she was jealous. She disobeyed his rules. He told her the potion must never be used unless it’s necessary and being jealous wasn't a necessary reason. There was nothing she could do. She plopped down on her throne crying into her knees. If only she believed at first that jealousy could be a sin.
