Nemesis refused to do this to Aura and arranged for her rape instead.
Nemesis refused to do this to Aura and arranged for her rape instead. This was the ultimate fate of Aglauros for barring her sister's doorway. The jilted Iphis called on Aphrodite, who did this to Anaxarete, and Hermes did this to the shepherd Battus, who saw the god stealing cattle. Zeus resolved an annoying paradox by doing this to Laelaps and the Teumessian Fox. After Apollo and Artemis killed her 14 children, this fate befell Niobe atop Mount Sipylus. One man avoided this fate by looking at his shield's reflection, and Ovid states that Atlas was killed in this manner by that man, the hero Perseus. For 10 points, identify this fatal transformation that could be produced by looking at Medusa.
