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.

Yes, Medusa was said to be quite beautiful before turning into a Gorgon.
Medusa said she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than Athena and so Athena turned Medusa into a monster so that whenever the Medusa was looked at she would automatically turn them into stone, even herself, but then the Medusa was cheated on so this made the Medusa even more powerful and more angry towards her husband/Greek god. Then the Medusa was killed by Perseus who is a demigod Greek hero who killed Medusa.)
