Medusa was a Gorgon.
Medusa got turned into a gorgon because the gods got angry at her
Medusa never asked to be a gorgon. Athena turned her into one when she caught her messing around with Poseidon in her temple. Her devious nature and killing streak is probably fueled by her frustration with not being a beautiful young maiden anymore.
medusa was a mortal woman who was made in to a hiddiuse gorgon, along with her to sisters, bt Athena
Yes, Medusa was said to be quite beautiful before turning into a Gorgon.
No, Rhea was not Medusa. Rhea was a Titan. Medusa was a Gorgon.
Medusa is a Gorgon and Gorgon's are monster's. Monsters they don't die they disintegrate and reform and Medusa's parents are dead.
