In Greek mythology, the gorgons, particularly Medusa, sought revenge against Athena after being cursed by the goddess. Medusa, originally a beautiful maiden, was transformed into a gorgon as punishment for being violated by Poseidon in Athena's temple. As a result, her hair became snakes, and her gaze could turn people to stone, symbolizing her anger and pain. The gorgons, though not directly seeking revenge against Athena, embodied the consequences of her wrath and the tragic fate of Medusa.
Athena caught Poseidon raping one of her followers, Medusa, in her temple. Interestingly, Medusa was punished, not Poseidon. Athena turned Medusa and her sisters into Gorgons.
Athena's shield, Aegis, bares the head of Medusa, one of the three Gorgons.
I can't believe this is the third time I'm going to have to explain this. Greek myths DO NOT have dates, so there isn't a date when the Gorgons are born. Oh, BTW, the three gorgons weren't born gorgons. They were three beautiful girls, but they were cursed by Athena.
they "dated" but were caught in Athena's temple and she turned medusa and her sisters into gorgons
Medusa was one of the three gorgons transformed into an ugly monster by Athena

Medusa was a young and beatiful woman; who was one of three sisters called the "Gorgons". Medusa had a thing for Poseidon, god of the sea, and so they had a sexual affair in Athena's temple: a highly disrespectful thing to do. In result, Athena turned Medusa into a terrible, green monster with hypnotizing powers with her eyes and the ability to turn anyone into stone with her eyes and hair: a headful of hissing and poisonous snakes. The other Gorgons have been taking revenge and Medusa has too, and Athena is still really pissed off with Poseidon.

She was originally human, until Athena turned her and her sisters into the monters called the Gorgons.
Medusa was mortal before she got on Athena's bad side by making out with Posidon in her temple.
Medusa and Poseidon were courting in Athena's temple and she turned Medusa and her sisters who helped her get into the temple the three Gorgons. ('cuz courting in her temple was hugely disrespectful)
In Greek mythology, the Gorgons were originally beautiful sisters, but after their encounter with the goddess Athena, Medusa and her sisters were cursed, transforming them into hideous creatures with snakes for hair and the ability to turn those who gazed at them into stone.
