It's not a medusa, but close enough.Hercules saves him (and a lot of villagers) from the petrification by killing the monster. I think that's precedent enough to have it work that way. Especially since it provides a neat story to save not just the stoned heroes, but also all of the Medusa's other victims.It also gives other villains a reason to want to protect the medusa. The first thought that leaps to mind is an evil king who only hold the throne because his older brother is petrified. I'm sure there's a thousand more possibilities.</blockquote>
