One Greek mythology to be found in the catacombs of Core Design is Medusa. She is scattered around the whole area on walls and ceilings! Medusa was a monster, one of the Gorgon sisters and daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaea (Earth) and Oceanus (Ocean). She had the face of an ugly woman with snakes instead of hair; anyone who looked into her eyes was immediately turned to stone. Her sisters were Sthenno and Euryale, but Medusa was the only mortal of the three.
Core Design 的地下墓穴关卡中能找到的一个希腊神话是美度莎（Medusa）。她散落在各处的墙上和屋顶上。美度莎是一个妖怪，是 Gorgon 姐妹之一，Phorkys 和 Keto 的女儿，Gaea 和 Oceanus 的后代。【译者注：原文这里有些奇怪，我并未弄懂 Gaea 和 Oceanus 与之的关系。】她有一个丑陋的女性的脸，头上不是头发，而是蛇。任何看到她眼睛的人都会瞬间变为石头。她的姐妹是 Sthenno 和 Euryale，但是美度莎是她们3人中唯一不能永生的。
She was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy. However, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him. For this offence, she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake. Her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker, whilst her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge.
她最初是个金发美少女。作为雅典娜的女祭司，曾发誓献身于独身生活。然而，当波赛冬追求并与之相爱后，她忘掉了自己的誓言并嫁给了波赛冬。由于这种对神的冒犯，她被女神以最恐怖的方式惩罚了。她那每一缕曾经让她丈夫着迷的、美丽的头发都变成了一只毒蛇。她曾经温柔的、透着爱意的眼睛变成了喷血的、狂暴的眼球，使所有看到她的人都产生恐惧与厌恶。同时，她曾经透着玫瑰红的、奶白色皮肤变成了令人讨厌的绿色。
Seeing herself transformed into such a repulsive creature, Medusa fled her home, never to return. Wandering about, abhorred, dreaded, and shunned by the rest of the world, she turned into a character worthy of her outer appearance. In her despair, she fled to Africa, where, while wandering restlessly from place to place, young snakes dropped from her hair; that is how, according to the ancient Greeks, Africa became a hotbed of venomous reptiles. With the curse of Athena upon her, she turned into stone whomever she gazed upon, till at last, after a life of nameless misery, deliverance came to her in the shape of death, at the hands of Perseus.
看到自己变成了一个如此令人厌恶的生物，美度莎逃离了自己的家，再也没有回来。在四处流浪中，她憎恨、恐惧、并逃避这个世界，最终她的性格变成了与她的外表一样。在绝望中，她逃到了非洲。在那里，当她不停的从一个地方流浪到另一个地方时，她头上的年轻小蛇们脱落了下来。这也是为什么，根据古希腊人的说法，非洲到处是蛇的原因。由于雅典娜对她的诅咒，她会将任何看到她的人都变为石头，直到生命的最后。在痛苦的无法形容的一生的最后，她终于，在帕休斯的手中，在死亡中得到了解脱。
This Greek mythology of Medusa and Poseidon is perfectly combined with the Temple of Poseidon level.
这个美度莎与波赛冬的希腊神话完美的嵌入到了《波赛冬神庙》的关卡中。
