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.
