Medusa. This is how she got a head of snakes because Athena was angry when she found them in her temple.
Athena and Poseidon were rivals in the contest for Athens. When Athena won and became the patron goddess of the city, there were still some tensions between the two. The other reason why Athena hated Poseidon was because she caught him and his girlfriend Medusa in her temple and felt very insulted.
One reason was that they both wanted Athens. Poseidon gave them spring, Athena gave them olive trees. The people of Athens picked Athena. Another reason for them hating each other is that Athena caught Poseidon with his current girlfriend, Medusa, in her temple. Feeling insulted, she cursed Medusa so nobody could love her again.
I'm not sure but she has a rivalry with Poseidon because she caught him with his girlfriend Medusa in her temple. And i don't think she liked Ares that much.
In Greek mythology, the story goes that Athena caught Poseidon with his lover, Medusa, in her temple. Angered by the desecration of her sacred space, Athena transformed Medusa into a Gorgon, making her hair turn to snakes and her gaze capable of turning anyone to stone. This act of vengeance not only punished Poseidon but also condemned Medusa to a tragic fate, highlighting themes of jealousy and the consequences of hubris in the divine realm.
Athena caught Poseidon and Medusa having sex in athena's temple and turned her because she was mad.

Athena caught Poseidon and Medusa having sex in athena's temple and turned her because she was mad.
Because Athena caught Medusa with her boyfriend (Poseidon) in her temple.
Mostly, Athena and Poseidon don't have the greatest relationship. They competed against each other to be the patron god/goddess of Athens. Athena offered the olive tree, and Poseidon offered a water spring. Also, Athena found Poseidon with his girlfriend in her temple, which is pretty disrespectful!
athena is medusa's enemy because athena turned medusa into a horrible gorgon when she was caught sleeping with poseidon in her temple
Poseidon's girlfriends name was Medusa.
Type your answer here... Medusa got snakes for hair because she and poseidon were caught dating in Athena's temple. Athena did not like her temple used this way.
No Poseidon did not have a crush on Athena. Athena was the niece of Poseidon, her father was Zeus the brother of Poseidon. Athena was a virgin goddess.
Poseidon did not have a lover as such but he did rape the high-priestes Medusa.
