Jesi Le Rae's Career Before Playing Medusa The Medusa commercial is one of Jesi Le Rae's biggest gigs to date. She's previously appeared in music videos for artists like Cardi B, Demi Lovato - who appeared in Grey's Anatomy - and Britney Spears.

The snake-haired Medusa does not become widespread until the first century B.C. The Roman author Ovid describes the mortal Medusa as a beautiful maiden seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes.

The campaign celebrates the many Prime benefits, including fast, free delivery, movies and series, and music, all under one unifying theme, “It's on Prime." Debuting at the Academy Awards, the first of a series of ads follows a young woman as she encounters unwanted facial hair for the first time.

In ancient Greek mythology, Medusa was a powerful goddess cursed with a head of snakes. She was feared and revered for her ability to turn people to stone with a single glance. In modern times, the image of Medusa has taken on a more complex meaning, often representing femininity, power, and transformation.

When Medusa had an affair with the sea god Poseidon, Athena punished her. She turned Medusa into a hideous hag, making her hair into writhing snakes and her skin was turned a greenish hue.

Amazon Prime's new ad, directed by actor turned filmmaker Olivia Wilde, follows a young woman debating what to do with an unwanted moustache. While at first she wants to remove it, she changes her mind when she's reminded of all of the cultural icons who have facial hair.

(The press materials for the spot identify the main character here as a woman.) “We wanted to inspire and remind the world that Prime caters to individuals, at any stage of life,” said Claudine Cheever, VP of global brand marketing at Amazon.

The Moral of Medusa This myth is actually a warning to mortals. Don't believe yourself to be equal to the gods. Who was Medusa to reject the advances of Poseidon? A mortal should never do this.

The best-known story of Medusa comes from the Roman poet Ovid. Medusa was seduced by Neptune (Poseidon) in a temple to Minerva (Athena), and in revenge, Minerva turned Medusa's beautiful head of hair into snakes. As she was both mortal and had the ability to turn men to stone, Perseus was sent to cut off her head.
