because she is the goddess of wisdom in greek mythology...
Did Athena change medusa into a monster because she compared her beauty to Athena?
no..... Medusa and Poseidon were having an affair in Athena's temple and Athena got mad so she turned Medusa into a hideous creature.
Her most well known symbols are the owl and olive tree. Strangly enough, the owl is her symbol because it looks intellegent, and what better bird for the god of wisdom. The olive tree is the symbol because Athena and Poseidon fought over who got named after a city. Athena won by giving mortals an olive tree. Argo that's how Athens got its name. I hope this helps and good luck (:
i think she did not do a crime there were not rules to do crimes back then
Why did Athena send a man to kill Medusa?
Medusa was once very beautiful but a man was sent out to kill her and she asked for Athena's protection but Athena refused and Athena cursed her. Medusa couldn't kill women so she was sent to a chamber (that is now hers) were no women could go. every man that ever went in there never came back out.

Athena became the patron goddess of Athens after a great competition with her uncle, Poseidon. Who ever could make the best thing to benefit mankind won.

Athena then brought forth the olive tree, which could be used in many different ways. It gave them olive oil, olives, shade and wood. Therefore Athena was proclaimed the winner and became the patron goddess of Athens! It was also named after her.
Athena is obviously known for her skill in battle strategies, architecture, and wisdom.
