A myth retold through connection and difference

Medusa’s familiar curse shapes the terms of this romance: she has been confined to a temple, where men seeking glory are turned to stone, while a song from a nearby palace offers a distant source of comfort. Her encounter with Princess Cyrene changes that isolation. Because Cyrene is blind, Medusa’s petrifying gaze does not affect her, opening the way for a relationship between two women who recognize something of themselves in one another. The graphic novel brings LGBTQ+ and disability representation into a reimagining of Greek mythology, placing intimacy and companionship at the heart of the Medusa legend.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in queer reinterpretations of classical mythology.
  • Readers seeking graphic novels centered on a romance between women.
  • Readers interested in LGBTQ+ and disabled characters in fantasy.

Book overview

Song for Medusa is a sapphic reimagining of the petrifying Gorgon Medusa, who falls in love with a blind princess who is not affected by her curse.

Medusa has lived in her temple prison for years, turning men who seek glory to stone. Her only comfort is the mysterious song drifting from the villa palace above. After a chance encounter with Princess Cyrene--whose blindness spares her--the two lonely women find in each other kindred spirits, and soon, love.

Fall under Medusa's spell in a myth made new . . . beautiful, powerful, and unforgettable.
