Medusa took revenge on Poseidon by invoking the wrath of Athena after he violated her in Athena's temple. As punishment, Athena transformed Medusa into a Gorgon, a creature with snakes for hair and a gaze that turned people to stone. This transformation served as both a curse and a source of power, allowing Medusa to exact her own form of revenge against those who wronged her, including Poseidon, by using her newfound abilities. Ultimately, while she could not directly retaliate against Poseidon, her transformation and subsequent power became a form of vengeance against the gods who failed to protect her.
Poseidon wanted to have carnal relations with Medusa but Medusa was a priestess in the temple of Athena, a maiden god. As such, all of her priestess were also expected to be maidens. Poseidon disregarded this and raped Medusa within the temple walls. Athena was infuriated but could not take her vengeance on Poseidon so instead she turned Medusa into a gorgon. Medusa was essentially punished for being raped.
