Athena *helped* Medusa by turning her into someone who could NEVER be raped again. they sent Perseus to kill her because it wasn't just mortals that she could petrify. because if he could, Poseidon wouldn't have stopped at doing it just once.

athena gave medusa a way to protect herself, not to punish her.

The gods were bullies. Medusa was always a victim.

Despite this myth being Roman rather then Greek and made by Ovid (long after the Pantheon was made) it still resonates home in a way that we have to protect our women, i like the interpretation turned Medusa into a monster to protect her from monsters

Some people say I don't know if it's true or not that she did it to protect her. Without this , people say on the myth is untru alto.

that's one interpretation of the story. one I like a little better is instead of turning people to stone being a punishment from Athena, it's a blessing so that no man can ever look at her with lust again.

Poseidon is actually a serial in mythology. That's why a lot of women believe Athena didn't do it out of jealousy, but protection, since she couldn't protect her in her own house, she gave her power to do it herself. The original "curse" was always Medusa's beauty though in all versions, and that hasn't changed much in thousands of years.

Because as far as i'm aware, that story came from the romans, so, no they didn't tell you.

No they did tell us but we weren’t listening bc she was villainized before we heard the story.

The saddest part of the story is Medusa didn’t have the power to stop him and still got punished by her family for something she never had the power to stop
