17. Pretty woman The myth says that Medusa was a young and beautiful lady and that Poseidon was in love with her. One day Poseidon took her to the temple of Athena and raped her there.

18. You must know… Poseidon and Athena were enemies because they competed about giving the name to the capital of Greece. Poseidon offered a great fountain with horses to the people. On the other hand, Athena gave an olive tree which was impossible to destroy. The people of the capital liked Athena’s offer so they decided to give the name of Athens to their city. Poseidon was really angry.

He saw her thanks to the reflection on his shield, he spied her all day. When she went to bed and closed her eyes… Choom!
