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.
