The speaker in the poem "Medusa" by Carol Ann Duffy is Medusa herself. Duffy writes from Medusa's perspective, giving voice to the character from Greek mythology.

Medusa was said to be a daughter of Ceto and Phorcys. In some mythology, it says that Medusa and Poseidon were caught in Athena's temple by Athena herself. Athena, enraged, turned Medusa's hair into snakes. Whoever looked at her turned to stone.
Yes, she made herself famous.
Also, Medusa was pregnant before Athena changed her. So when Perseus chopped off the neck of Medusa, Pegasus and Crysaor escaped from the body as Poseidon's and Medusa's children. I feel sorry for Medusa, being raped!
Medusa said she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than Athena and so Athena turned Medusa into a monster so that whenever the Medusa was looked at she would automatically turn them into stone, even herself, but then the Medusa was cheated on so this made the Medusa even more powerful and more angry towards her husband/Greek god. Then the Medusa was killed by Perseus who is a demigod Greek hero who killed Medusa.)

Athena was in a myth with her and Medusa. Medusa thought of herself so much prettier than Athena so then she cursed her into having snake hair.
Medusa was originally a priestess of Athena. But because she allowed herself to be seduced within the Temple by Poseidon, Athena cursed her into her Gorgon form. She had no other duties.
None have survived to say.
Medusa allowed herself to be seduced by Poseidon while she was a priestess of Athena. Not only did she break her vows of chastity, but she did so in front of the image of Athena. To punish Medusa, Athena made her even more dreadful to look at than her sisters.
Athena, a goddess did this to her. When Medusa was a very beautiful girl, she asked to visit the south. Athena did not let her. So then Medusa therantened her that she would dare say she was jealous of her beauty. Then Athens got mad and cursed with ugliness. She was so ugly whoever looks her in the eye will turn to stone.
