Medusa was originally considered beautiful in Greek mythology, known for her stunning hair and captivating presence. She was a priestess of Athena, and her beauty attracted many suitors, including Poseidon. However, after being punished by Athena for an offense in her temple, Medusa was transformed into a Gorgon, losing her beauty and gaining the ability to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. This tragic transformation contrasts her initial beauty, highlighting themes of jealousy and punishment.
