What was the relationship with Medusa and other gods?

Answer 1

Medusa was one of the three Gorgons in Greek mythology, originally a beautiful maiden who was transformed into a monster by the goddess Athena as punishment for being seduced by Poseidon in Athena's temple. This transformation led to her having snake hair and the ability to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. Medusa's relationship with other gods was primarily adversarial, as she was often depicted as a victim of divine jealousy and wrath. Despite her monstrous form, she was later sought after by heroes like Perseus, who ultimately killed her, further intertwining her fate with the divine and heroic narratives of Greek mythology.
