The Greek myths are not in our chronology.
To force them to tell him where Medusa, the gorgon lived.
Poseidon wanted to have carnal relations with Medusa but Medusa was a priestess in the temple of Athena, a maiden god. As such, all of her priestess were also expected to be maidens. Poseidon disregarded this and raped Medusa within the temple walls. Athena was infuriated but could not take her vengeance on Poseidon so instead she turned Medusa into a gorgon. Medusa was essentially punished for being raped.
Athena cursed medusa because Medusa was a priestess at Athenas temple. Being a priestess for athena includes many things but the biggest one was remaining a virgin. However, medusa was veery beautiful and Posiden fell in love with her and wanted to have sex with her. She refused but he wouldn't take no for an answer and he raped her. Athena heard that Medusa was no longer a virgin and cursed her.
The Greek myths can not be bothered about time.

The myth of Medusa highlights the dangers of arrogance and vanity, as Medusa's punishment stemmed from her boasting about her beauty. It also serves as a warning about the consequences of disrespecting the gods, as Medusa's transformation into a monster was a result of her actions. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of humility and the repercussions of hubris.
Medusa wasn't "wanted". She was a well-known monster and hero-killer. When Perseus and his mother were cast into the sea by her father, Acrisius, they were discovered and cared for by a fisherman named Dictys. He loved Danae, but she did not love him back, but he cared for them anyway. The fisherman's brother, Polydectes, was the king of Seriphos. He also desired Danae, but was willing to take her by force if needed. So he devised a way to get Perseus off the island, hopefully never to return. So, he threw a banquet and invited his brother and his family. It was common for kings to ask for tribute or gifts at such feasts, and in this case, he asked for a horse from each attendee, knowing that the fisherman's protege would have no horses. Perseus, rashly, offered for the king to request any gift he chose, at which Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa. That is why Perseus went after her.
Yes it does in Corinth, Greece.
