Medusa was a beautiful woman who wanted to become priestess of Athena's temple.  Athena was jealous of her so when Medusa reached her temple to escape from Poseidon, she received no help from the goddess so she was raped by Poseidon. Then she was turned into a giant snake but half part of her body was still human and her hair was replaced by snakes. She could transform people into stone with a glance.
