well, she didn't get mad when they were together but she got mad when they met in her temple/palace.
She cried out in outrage, for Poseidon and Medusa were making love in her temple; and she was a virgin goddess. She cursed Medusa with serpent hair.
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.
The stories about them vary, but the later authors say they look as terrible as Medusa.
medusa used to be the most beutiful girl in greek mythology and made love with poseidon in athenas tempale so Athena turned her and her two sisters to gorgals medusa was a mortal
Who said that? Athena didn't hate Medusa.Medusa was a very pretty woman, she was athena's servant, but all of Athena's servants had to take a vow to never love, have kids, or marry. one day in Athena's temple, Poseidon raped Medusa, she didn't do anything, he did it, but he was a fellow god, so in Athena's eyes, he could do no wrong, so in that one moment of rage, she punished Medusa.
Athena did, when Medusa had desecrated her temple by making love to Poseidon there.
He married the nereid Amphitrite, they had the son Triton. Once Poseidon also made love to the beautiful Athena priestess Medusa in her temple. Athena got furious and changed Medusa into a monster.

Medusa yep Medusa people might think Medusa is Ugly but she was beautiful until Athena goddess of Wisdom found her Uncle Poseidon making love to Beautiful Medusa in Athena's temple that made her furious so Athena cursed Medusa into a gorgon with hair as snakes
Athena is the one that turned Medusa into the horrible creature we now know her as.
Theory 1 Medusa was a beatiful mortal that poseidon fell in love with. Her sisters helped her and Poseidon sneak into Athena's temple to make out . When Athena found out, she went into a rage. Not beingable to punish Poseidon, she punished Medusa and her sisters by making them absolutely hideous for the rest of eternity. theory 2 Medusa asked Athena for something and she wouldn't give it to her. So Medusa said she was prettier than Athena. Athena knew that the mortal needed punishment, and she soon found out that Medusa had to gorgon half sisters, so she made Medusa a gorgon as well.
Medusa was the high priestess of Athena. She was beautiful and was desired by many men. One day Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes, took Medusa into Athena's temple and raped her. Athena was furious for being a priest of Athena you had to keep your maidenhood like the goddess. So to make sure this didn't happen again, Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon with snakes for hair and eyes that turn people to stone.
She turned Medusa into a monster as a punishment for sneaking out with the sea god Poseidon in Athena's temple, thereby desecrating it.
