She was a arrogant gorgon in Greek Mythology
Hesiod, Theogony 270 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) :
"Poseidon, he of the dark hair, lay with one of these [Medousa (Medusa), one of the Gorgones], in a soft meadow and among spring flowers."
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 46 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"It is affirmed by some that Medousa was beheaded because of Athena, for they say the Gorgon had been willing to be compared with Athena in beauty."
It's not that complicaded
0:36 Stheno and Euryale
0:55 She wasn't described as kind in any myth
1:14 there it is 😑
She WASN'T described as a Priestess in any myth, that's just a modern headcanon from the 19th century writer called Basil L Gildersleeve
