Nope, they didn't. Medusa is born as a gorgon since she birth, the version of "human and get cursed" is made by nowadays, it never appear in any mythology, or ancient book. Either in Roman she also the monster.

@@deathgod4872I’ve never heard that ever?

[@deathgod4872]

@@Trey1x. The Medusa story you know first appeared is in BBC trailer 👉 The Clash of Titans. The author are Christian and they need write this story to blame the Greek Gods. In Greek myth only mentions that she is the one of Gorgon born by Phorcys and Ceto, she and her sister are all monster with snake hair, winged and eyes can turn everyone to be monster. Her dad and mum is the monster, so she definitely also the pure monster. But in Roman Ovid, he wrote Medusa has a beautiful hair monster, her powerful eyes is nature and she use her eyes killed many mortal. Minerva just cursed her hair become to snake only. And then, Medusa not the priestess of Minerva. As you can see, the goddess written by Ovid is their native Roman god, not Athena. The curse of Athena you see is already a story written by modern writer. Furthermore, the Roman gods are actually the same as the Greek gods in appearance, but they are quite different in essence, just like Minerva symbolizes peace, and Athena is in charge of strategy war.

No matter which version of Medusa's story I hear.. I will always blame Athena. Dirty old Poseidon, no surprise there. But Athena... That's truly divine victim-blaming, right there.

[@mariosargiropoulos1715]

It is one of those unfortunate things where you will have stories where gods seem to contradict their very nature, and that is because you had different versions of gods being depicted in their own way by different Greek cultures. Athena behaving this way is similar to Artemis demanding Iphigenia be sacrificed by her father, Agamemnon, after Agamemnon offended Artemis by killing her sacred deer. Odd that the goddess who serves as protectress of young girls would want an innocent girl killed to punish her father. And this is why there is an alternate version where Artemis allows Agamemnon to believe he killed his daughter when in reality Artemis had taken her away to safety. This is how Euripides depicts it. So the ancient Greeks were aware of these contradictions and would sometimes offer more coherent versions compatible with the specific god’s known nature.
