Athena hated Medusa because in ancient times the raped were the punished not the rapist. Medusa was beautiful beyond means and Posiedon noticed this. When Medusa saw Posiedon she ran for the temple to pray. This did not stop Posiedon. He took her on the cold ground. Athena did not like this so she turned Medusa hideous. Later on when Perseus was about to battle Medusa, Athena figured she would help. She gave Perseus, Hermes' winged sandals, Hades' invisibility helmet and her own shield.
The story of Perseus and Medusa centers on the hero Perseus, who is tasked with slaying the Gorgon Medusa, a monster with hair of living snakes whose gaze turns people to stone. With the help of divine gifts, including a reflective shield from Athena and winged sandals from Hermes, Perseus approaches Medusa while she sleeps. He successfully beheads her and uses her head as a weapon against his enemies, as it retains its petrifying power. Ultimately, Perseus's quest highlights themes of bravery, divine assistance, and the triumph of good over evil.

Athena told Perseus to find the Hesperides, who gave him the bag to hold Medusa's severed head. She also gave him a polished shield, which he used to look at Medusa's reflection in and decapitate her.
The god Hermes aided Perseus by providing him with a sword to slay Medusa and a reflective shield to avoid looking directly at her. Additionally, Athena helped Perseus by giving him a polished shield to help him safely approach Medusa.
The conflict in the story of Perseus and Medusa is primarily centered around Perseus' quest to obtain Medusa's head as a gift for King Polydectes. Perseus faces numerous challenges, including overcoming the fearsome Medusa and navigating through the obstacles set by the gods. The conflict is resolved when Perseus successfully defeats Medusa with the help of Athena and uses her head as a weapon against his enemies.

Perseus is known for slaying the Gorgon Medusa, a monstrous creature whose gaze could turn people to stone. With the help of various gods and goddesses, including Athena and Hermes, Perseus used a reflective shield to avoid looking directly at Medusa and successfully severed her head. He later used Medusa's head as a weapon in other heroic feats.
The gods Hermes, Athena and Hades helped Perseus when heneeded help to find the Gormans (his quest was to bring Medusa's head to Polydects). They gave him equipment to help fight Medusa and told where she was. The equipment he was given was a adamantine curved sword from Hermes, a highly-polished bronze shield from Athena and a helmet of invisibility from Hades.
There was no purpose for either Medusa or Perseus. Medusa was the only mortal Gordon (dreadful female creatures) whose eyes turned people to stone. That is all there was to her. She probably liked to just mind her own business. Perseus was sent to kill her and fetch her head by a king. The king wanted to get rid of him and thought he would be killed by Medusa. Perseus managed to kill her thanks to the help of the gods Zeus, Hermes and Athena.
