Medusa is a character from Greek mythology, and cannot be associated with any 'real' year.

You may be thinking of Methusaleh or Methusael.

If anyone has the dates/generational details for either of these two characters please give them.

---- The Gorgon Medusa was slain by the Greek hero Perseus.

Perseus later married Andromeda. The pair had many children, and eventually Perseus would become Heracles great-grandfather.

Heracles was part of the first sacking of Troy, when he was helped by Telamon. Telamon would later be the father of Ajax, who took part in the more famous Trojan War.

So if we assume that the Trojan War took place around 1300 BC (a common assumption in classical times) we can backdate the death of Medusa around five generations before this (say 120 years).

This has Medusa's death around 1420 BC, which is some 1450 years before the death of Jesus Christ.

---- both are mythological characters, so there is no point in pinpointing dates!
