Medusa WASN'T described as a Priestess in any myth that's just a modern headcanon 😑
And no, she wasn't a victim of SA in Greek Mythology, this account of abuse is from the ROMAN writer Ovid
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."
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."

So Athena ‘punished’ Medusa for ‘getting reaped’? What the actual fk

[@WORLDWIDE-STORY]

yes, it is indeed an injustice, there are 2 possibilities, Athena didn't know she was raped or Athena was forced to punish Medusa to vent because she didn't dare to fight Poseidon.

​@@WORLDWIDE-STORY the second option is just 21th century invention. Minerva knew about the SA and the myth goes as far as describing the Goddess using her shield to avoid looking at the scene
