How did medusa go from being a beautiful women to a horrible creature?
The three Gorgon sisters were daughters of ancient Sea Gods, Ceto and Phorcys. Two, Stheno and Eluryah were immortal, but the third, Medusa was not. She had been a female of absolute beauty, mostly her long, silky hair. She bragged at being more beautiful than the Goddess Athena, and one day, while in her temple, she was ravished by the Sea God Neptune. Athena was outraged by this and turned Medusa into the Gorgon she became famous for being. She turned her beautiful hair into snakes and let it be that she could no longer see the handsome men who came to court her, as they would instantly be turned to stone if they looked into her eyes.
What were the goddess Athena's failures?
It's difficult to list all of them, but one that comes to mind above the others is the incident with Medusa. Medusa was originally a beautiful, human virgin girl in service to Athena. Since Medusa was a virgin priestess, she could never get married or have children. However, this didn't stop one male from persuing her, Poseidon, god of the seas. One day when Medusa was praying in Athena's temple, Poseidon came for her. Medusa prayed to Athena for protection, but got none, so Poseidon raped her on the cold floor. By the end, Medusa was devasted, and she prayed to Athena for comfort, but the goddess only felt disgust for her. So she decided to make sure no one would ever want Medusa again, and turned her into the snake haired, stone-gazed woman we're all familiar with. So, Athena's failure here is not taking care of those who worshipped her, and making the situation worse by punishing the victim and turning her into a monster. Athena was responsible for Medusa, and failed. Before Medusa was a monster, she was a victim of gods who betrayed her trust and devotion.
