Yes Medusa was a woman who was a Gorgon in ancient Greek fictional literature.

But since there is no copyright or trademarks on Greek mythology, these stories, characters, etc. are essentially public domain.

(I am by no means an expert in law, copyright, or trademarks. So this is strictly my opinion.)

This means that other authors and artists are free to make stories and art featuring them, and/or alter them as they see fit.

Kenko Cross is just such a person. He created a fictional setting called Monster Girl Encyclopedia. And in it, he incorporates parts from several mythologies along with his own creations into his own fictional world.

And in this world, Medusa is a subspecies of Lamia not a specific person. Which is completely valid in this setting and has absolutely no bearing on any other fictional literature.

And that is okay, as variety is the spice of life.

And they all lived happily ever after.

The end.
