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.

∙ 14y agoMedusa's head was a gift for a King. I don't remember some of names of the people but what happened was there was this king and he loved Perseus' mom. the mother did not want to marry this king. the king could not force her because the Perseus was the city's greatest warrior. the king tricks the Perseus saying he will marry someone else. so the Perseus goes to what i guess is the engagement party. Perseus is poor so he has no gift. the king embarrasses him saying how he shows up empty handed. Perseus' temper gets the better of him and he says he will get him the greatest present.. anything he wanted. The king asks for the head of Medusa. Now that is impossible for anyone to get so the king thought he sent Perseus to his death, leaving the mother unprotected and all to him. Well with help from the gods Perseus returns with the head of Medusa.
