Medusa

Welcome aboard the Story Ark! Captain Kenny Mears sets a course for ancient Greece to explore the enduring power and relevance of Greek mythology. From the pages of Percy Jackson to the halls of the Parthenon, these myths are more than just stories; they are timeless guides to the human condition.

Join Stephanie Rollheiser, a professional actress, writer, and storyteller, as she shares a classic, yet often misunderstood, myth. Stephanie delves into the tragic story of Medusa, a beautiful young maiden who was transformed into a monster by the jealous goddess Athena. This story is a powerful exploration of themes like victimhood, betrayal, and the isolation of suffering.

But the tale doesn't end in darkness. Stephanie reveals how Medusa’s story is also one of hope and incredible transformation. From her suffering came the birth of the magnificent winged horse, Pegasus. This powerful symbol of rebirth and new beginnings reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a path toward the light.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to find deeper meaning in classic tales, explore the profound symbolism of mythology, and discover a message of resilience and hope in an increasingly complex world.
