Medusa was once a priestess to the Goddess Athena (Aphrodite in the film), until she fell in love with Poseidon, the Sea God. Jealous that her patron is seduced with another God of Olympus, Athena cursed Medusa into a hideous Gorgon, a woman with snakes instead of hair; so ugly, that anyone who looks at her will turn to stone.
