Before being cursed by Athena, Medusa was described as a beautiful maiden with stunning hair, often depicted as having long, flowing locks. She was known for her beauty, which attracted the attention of many suitors. However, her beauty became a source of envy and ultimately led to her transformation into a Gorgon, where she was cursed to have snakes for hair and a gaze that turned people to stone.
