History

6 0

Answer:

Medusa, one of the three Gorgons, daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. She was the only one of the Gorgons who was subject to mortality. She is celebrated for her personal charms and the beauty of her locks. Neptune became enamoured of her, and obtained her favours in the temple of Minerva. This violation of the sanctity of the temple provoked Minerva, and she changed the beautiful locks of Medusa, which had inspired Neptune’s love to serpents. According to Apollodorus, Medusa and her sisters came into the world with snakes on their heads, instead of hair, with yellow wings and brazen hands. Their bodies were also covered with impenetrable scales, and their very looks had the power of killing or turning to stones. Perseus rendered his name immortal by his conquest of Medusa. He cut off her head, and the blood that dropped from the wound produced the innumerable serpents that infest Africa. The conqueror placed Medusa's head on the shield of Minerva, which he had used in his expedition. The head still retained the same petrifying power as before, as it was fatally known in the court of Cepheus. Some suppose that the Gorgons were a nation of women, whom Perseus conquered.

What did the treaty of versailles mean for Europe?<br> -Land<br> -Peace Keeping
Paul [167]
The Treaty of Versailles meant peace at the times, as it ended the WWI. However, it also established very harsh conditions for Germany (high war reparations), which later led to Germany's poverty and the rize of Nazis to power : so it's blamed for instigating (causing, leading to) the WWII.

The Treaty of Versailles also brought a big land loss for Germany, Austria and Hungary.
