Medusa had two children by Poseidon, Pegasus and Chrysaor.
Medusa had two children by Poseidon, Pegasus and Chrysaor.
Before Medusa was well...Medusa, She was Poseidon's Girlfriend. Poseidon had always had an on going rivalry with Athena. Poseidon brought his girlfriend, Medusa, on a date IN Athena's temple. Medusa's sisters happened to be there also. Athena was so angry she turned them into Monsters. The Three Gorgons. Medusa is the only one of them alive; the other two faded.
Poseidon and Medusa did not end up having children, thanks to Athena. Athena caught the two of them together in her temple, and used her powers to make Medusa ugly, which is how Medusa got her snake hair.
Stheno and Euryale didn't become like Medusa. Medusa became like them. Before Medusa had become a woman with snakes as hair she was mortal. Her sisters were not. There are two versions of Medusa's story. One was that Medusa became cursed because she slept with Poseidon in Athena's temple. The other story was that Medusa had sworn celibacy to Athena, but forgot those vows and married Poseidon.
medusa used to be the most beutiful girl in greek mythology and made love with poseidon in athenas tempale so Athena turned her and her two sisters to gorgals medusa was a mortal
Athena cursed Medusa because she was in Athena's temple, worshiping her, when Poseidon came. Posiedon raped Medusa and Athena got jealous. So she gave Medusa reptilian hair and a scaly dragon body along with her two sisters.
Medusa went into Athene's temple and Poseidon was spying on her and then Poseidon raped her in front of Athene so Athene got furious and said the that wasn't going to happen again so Athene turned Medusa into a gorgon because she said that it was Medusa's fought.Then Athene found out that Medusa had two sisters so Athene said that Medusa's sisters were probably are going to do the something so she turned then into gorgon. Medusa was probably 25 years old when she was turned into a ugly gorgon
Actually, Medusa wasn't a goddess. She was a human who got caught with Poseidon in Athena's temple and when Athena found out, she cursed Medusa and her two sisters to become gorgons. Whenever someone would look at these women, they would turn to stone.
Two; Arion and Despoine.
No. Medusa was a Gorgon, who was turned into a monster by I think Hera.pingo1387: actually, Medusa was a lovely young lady whom Poseidon was having an affair with. One day Athena caught Poseidon and Medusa making out and/or having sex in her sacred temple. Naturally, this pissed her off, so she turned Medusa and her two sisters into Gorgons.
She had two sisters, Stheno and Euryale, who she lived with. She was also in love with Poseidon before Athena cursed her and made her a monster.
