Medusa's form changed in Greek mythology as a result of a curse from the goddess Athena. After being desecrated in Athena's temple by Poseidon, Athena transformed Medusa into a Gorgon, giving her snakes for hair and turning her gaze into a deadly weapon that could turn anyone who looked at her to stone. This transformation symbolized both punishment and a loss of her former beauty, reflecting themes of victimization and the complexities of female power in mythology.
