Answer 2

The answer is Medusa. In Greek mythology, Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα (Médousa)), was a monstrous female character whose gaze could turn people to stone.
Some classical references describe her as one of three Gorgon sisters. Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale were monsters with brass hands, sharp fangs and hair of living, venomous snakes.
In a late version of the Medusa tale (related by the Roman poet Ovid) Medusa was originally a beautiful woman. But she lived in a country where the sun should never shine. So she asked Athene to transport here to another country. But Athene denied here question. So Medusa had sex with — or was raped by — Poseidon in Athena's temple. Upon discovery of the desecration of her temple, Athena changed Medusa's form to match that of her sister Gorgons as punishment. Medusa's hair turned into snakes, and meeting her gaze would turn all living creatures to stone. More ancient Greek writers imagined Medusa and her sisters as beings born of monstrous form.
