Medusa did not intentionally turn people into stone; her ability to do so was a curse placed upon her by Athena. According to mythology, Medusa was transformed into a Gorgon after being punished for being violated in Athena's temple. As a result, anyone who looked directly at her would be turned to stone, making her a tragic figure rather than a malevolent one.
