Honestly i feel really bad for Medusa. She was a beautiful priestess of Athena, was pressured/tricked into sleeping with Posiden (basically raped) and was punished for it. She stayed a beautiful woman.... but she was cursed by Athena. Athena had the right to be angry, after all, all she knew was that her temple had been defiled... by one of her priestesses! and with Posiden (they don't get along apparently)!?
The gods fury can be harsh... and posiden didn't do anything (that i know of) in defense of the woman who's life he ruined.
What became of Medusa afterward was terrible. Cursed to be a Gorgon, a monster by definition, and later killed by a Greek hero... i feel bad for her.
