I hate to be the one to do this but...
Lamia and Medusi are not the same things.
Lamia: lower body = snake, upper body = gorgeous woman for luring men into their nests.
Medusi: lower body = snake, upper body = gorgeous woman who turns you to stone with her gaze and has snakes for hair. The lower body part changes from lore to lore but typically the upper half stays the same.
The only other thing that changes is based on beauty. In some lore they're horrific and terrifying creatures who petrify you with your gaze, in others they are gorgeous women who do the same but you can't help to stare at anyway.
