Greek Mythology is really interesting. All Gods, Half Gods, Titans, Heros, Legends draws you into the story..

any books to recommend?

Bulfinch’s Greek and Roman Mythology

For an amusing anecdotal style, Stephen Fry's Mythos and Heroes are both quite good. Otherwise, http://www.perseus.tufts.edu  is a good place to start. And yes, I agree, Bulfinch is excellent :)

I’ll have to check those out!!! Thanks!

If podcasts are your thing @MythsAndLegends had numerous episodes on Greek mythology

If you want to read it in a fantasy type of way, I highly recommend reading Percy Jackson. Similar to Harry Potter as it gets deeper and darker as the series continues. The first five books are just about Greek mythology, second five books throws in Roman mythology.

She was innocent and didn’t deserve her fate.

The whole tragic backstory was invented by the Romans. According to the Greeks she's the sister of Stheno, Euryale, the Graeae, Scylla, and other monsters born of Keto, goddess of sea monsters.

Yea. It's a good written tragedy, but it doesn't fit with the rest of her mythos, like her two Gorgon sisters.

Read recently since Medusa is only gorgon w/an actual story &features prominently in tales, the other two sisters are just to make the gorgons another version of the triple goddess (fates, etc). Medusa is the only gorgon. I'd include link but don't remember plus I'm lazy. :)

Euryale and Stheno are present in pretty much every version of the Perseus story. While Medusa is probably older, they were all in the Greek myths and are mentioned by Hesiod in Theogeny among other sources.
