The gorgons who appear in Shadowchasers Series are rather attractive if you can get past the snake-hair. (Because interaction with humans is impossible in this reality, a gorgon can use simple dark sunglasses to render her gaze harmless.)The gorgon from the Hammer Horror film The Gorgon is not played by the most attractive actress in the world and has some rather pale and heavy scale makeup, but she's not exactly hideous. And that's only when she's in her gorgon form. The actress who plays her human form has the sort of looks you'd expect from the lead actress in a movie. The game has Medusas, which can seduce you with their legs and then turn you to stone. Also, Mariliths , Erinyes, Succubi... Of course, whether a Medusa is truly beautiful or not in this game is Depending on the Artist (and the current edition of the game). Some pictures of them depict them as beautiful, shapely women (other than the snakes for hair); others, however, make them reptilian creatures with scaly skin and faces that can even be demonic-looking. Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.798: "the Sovereign of the Sea attained her love in chaste Minerva's temple" ( Brookes More translation) or "in Minerva’s temple Neptune, lord of the Ocean, ravished her" ( Frank Justus Miller translation, as revised by G. P. Goold) Whether Ovid means that Medusa was a willing participant is unclear. Hard, p. 61, says she was "seduced"; Grimal, s.v. Gorgons, p. 174, says she was "ravished"; Tripp, s.v. Medusa, p. 363 says she "yielded". In the original Latin text, Ovid uses the verb "vitiasse" which is translated to mean "violate" or "corrupt" line 798. In most versions of the story, she was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who was sent to fetch her head by King Polydectes of Seriphus because Polydectes wanted to marry Perseus's mother. The gods were well aware of this, and Perseus received help. He received a mirrored shield from Athena, sandals with gold wings from Hermes, a sword from Hephaestus and Hades's helm of invisibility. Since Medusa was the only one of the three Gorgons who was mortal, Perseus was able to slay her; he did so while looking at the reflection from the mirrored shield he received from Athena. During that time, Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon. When Perseus beheaded her, Pegasus, a winged horse, and Chrysaor, a giant wielding a golden sword, sprang from her body. [12] A green face Medusa is perfect for someone looking to make a dramatic statement. Medusa’s skin was given a greenish hue after Athena cursed her, so this design symbolizes that spell. This tattoo can be a great way to tell your friends what you’re really like, like showing them the person beneath the surface. 25. Innocent Look Medusa Tattoo

Her updated look in Kid Icarus: Uprising does fit the bill; except for her pale skin and the snakes on her head ◊, she looks pretty good. This is likely her uncursed Goddess form, rather than the monster Palutena turned her into. A particularly interesting take on the gorgon design since she has normal (albeit green) hair growing from her head as well as the snakes. Medusa herself was briefly resurrected by Circe in Wonder Woman (1987). When one character remarks that she does not look at all ugly, Medusa lashes out that such stories were lies started by Athena. An actual gorgon also appears in the series. And later, a lamia appears...and she's one of the most beautiful monsters of all...well, from the waist up, anyway.

The Kendril species in Last Res0rt consists almost entirely of Gorgeous Gorgons and Cute Monster Girls, even accounting for the whole Medusa aspect. They still wear masks, though.

Likewise lamias, unlike their fairly monstrous namesake from Classical Mythology, are basically centaurlike (only with a feline lower body) and attractive enough (both males and females) that they use their looks regularly to lure people to their doom. Jane Ellen Harrison argues that "her potency only begins when her head is severed, and that potency resides in the head; she is in a word a mask with a body later appended... the basis of the Gorgoneion is a cultus object, a ritual mask misunderstood." [13] In the Odyssey xi, Homer does not specifically mention the Gorgon Medusa: The furry comic Goblin Hollow has a gorgon in one arc who looks like an ordinary vixen with snakes under her headscarf . Elana Dykewomon's 1976 collection of lesbian stories and poems, They Will Know Me by My Teeth, features a drawing of a Gorgon on its cover. Its purpose was to act as a guardian for female power, keeping the book solely in the hands of women. Stephen Wilk, author of Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon, questioned Medusa's enduring status among the feminist movement. He believes that one reason for her longevity may be her role as a protector, fearsome and enraged. "Only the Gorgon has the savage, threatening appearance to serve as an immediately recognized symbol of rage and a protector of women's secrets," wrote Wilk. [28]

Grendel's mother gets the same treatment in the 1999 adaptation of Beowulf (which was only very loosely based on the original poem) where she is played by model Layla Roberts. Again, she can appear beautiful (in which case she resemble Roberts) but her true form is a large, red, spider-like monster. Stephenson, A. G. (1997). "Endless the Medusa: a feminist reading of Medusan imagery and the myth of the hero in Eudora Welty's novels." These two alternatives can be seen as playing with Beauty Equals Goodness. In the first, the slightly hidden physical beauty is a sign of the internal goodness, in the latter, it represents the danger inherent in Evil Is Sexy. In So You Think You Had A Bad Hair Day , more is revealed, by A.A. Pessimal, about the gorgon who joins the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Euryale is not unattractive by conventional standards. But she does complain that in two thousand years the only serious boyfriend she had was a hydra. Who really wanted a relationship with her snakes... note Yuri is also responsible for re-introducing Pegasi into the Discworld, after being punched in the face by a Troll and getting a nosebleed. Both Death Knights and Dark Rangers such as Sylvanas, despite being described as corpses resurrected after their violent death are rather intact, with the only undead features being red or blue glowing eyes, and a deathly pallor.

American Dragon: Jake Long has Medusa and the gorgons as a group of attractive, Alpha Bitchy cheerleader types that fuss over split ends — split ends, in this case, meaning two-headed snakes. GURPS Banestorm describes a game-world with a race of Medusas who typically have the Beautiful Appearance advantage. Some classical references refer to three Gorgons; Harrison considered that the tripling of Medusa into a trio of sisters was a secondary feature in the myth: The Shambleau in the classic Northwest Smith story of the same name by C. L. Moore. She is terrifying, hugely desirable and addictive to the protagonist. The Shambleau is pretty much the intersection of Gorgeous Gorgon and Humanoid Abomination, though her natural state while feeding is a tentacled monster. The main character of the Spanish novel La Dama Del Alba (The Lady Of The Dawn) was Death herself, but she looked like a reasonably attractive woman and actually envied mortals because they could love - everything she touched died.
