Why did Athena punish Medusa?
Athena punished Medusa because Medusa thought she was better and more beautiful than the ancient Greek god so Athena cursed Medusa. However, there are many different versions of this story. Another one is : Medusa wanted to be the Queen of something, ( queen of the seas is my guess. ) So, she planned on ruling all of it by herself. So she put Poseidon in chains ( because when a god is in chains, all of their power is lost. Of course until they are released. ) and hid him. Soon, Athena found out, and punished her. BTW Medusa was very beautiful. This story is like Andromeda. ( I recommend learning about it )

Why was Medusa after Percy Jackson?
Medusa was in a relationship with Poseidon long ago. They got caught together in Athenas temple and Athena found this disrespectful. She turned Medusa and her 2 sisters into the gorgons and Poseidon no longer saw her. When Annabeth and Percy found her she wanted to kill Annabeth because she reminded Medusa of Athena who she holds a grudge against. Percy, however reminded her of Poseidon so she wanted to preserve him as a statue forever. Hope this helped :)
