Medusa went into Athena's temple seeking refuge after being cursed by Poseidon. The curse transformed her into a Gorgon, and she was often misunderstood as a monster. Her presence in the temple, however, angered Athena, who then punished Medusa further by making her hair a nest of snakes and ensuring that anyone who looked at her would turn to stone. This event highlights themes of divine retribution and the intersection of personal tragedy with the whims of the gods.
