Watched Clash of the Titans - a Swords and Sandals epic which lies somewhere between Troy and 300. Kraken was the piece of cake and so were the mythical creatures.

The story on Medusa's origin was indeed sympathetic and another example on how wayward the Greek Gods are. Poseidon, the God of the Seas, brutally raped Medusa when she was a beautiful young woman and he gave way to his urge right inside the Temple of Athena. Medusa pleaded to the Goddess to save her and Athena didn't bother at all. Instead, she turned the hapless woman into a Gorgon and that too once Poseidon was done with his hunger. How considerate! Athena's explanation for her "blessing" - she regarded it as the finest way to save Medusa from men! Medusa went on to be known by the monstrous form from then.
Now tell me - Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?
