That’s one version of the story. But the older versions never had her as a human.
 
“The name Medusa first appears in early religious history, when goddesses represented birth and earth. It was a time before the advent of male gods. There are references to a Medusa among the Libyan Amazons. She was known then as the “serpent goddess”. Those who study Greek mythology believe the goddess was transplanted into the Greek tales at a later date. All tales seem to agree that she was a gorgon - a terrible monster. Some stories say she was born that way, the only mortal of three gorgon sisters born to Echidne, a half-woman, half-snake and Typhon, the worst monster in the world. Another story states she was a beautiful woman born to two earth people named Phorcys and Ceto.” I got this from here. http://www.medusasmakeup.com/medusa.htm
 
TLDR; Greek/Roman myths wouldn’t know what continuity is if it bit them on the butt.

From my studies into mythology the 3 sisters before they were known as Gorgons (Euryale aka the one Kratos kills in GoW2, Medusa and Stheno)were known for their beauty and specifically their long beautiful hair. Medusa was known as the most beautiful of the 3 and the one desired by both men and gods.
 
One of the most persistent of the gods was Poseidon (sea god; ironic since the usual lustful god was his bro Zeus) but Medusa rejected his every advance. Finally, Poseidon couldn’t stand it and raped her while she was at one of Athena’s temples.
 
Angered at having her temple defiled and desecrated, Athena punished Medusa and her sisters (she couldn’t punish her uncle but she could definitely punish her uncle’s “mistress”) by cursing their most important attributes: changing their long beautiful hair to snakes and causing anyone who looked at their faces to turn to stone.
 
The rest is mythological history.

“It’s important to point out that the film hasn’t been greenlit for production yet, and Sony has struggled more than any other major studio in trusting its directors with original ideas. The studio’s last original film was Hotel Transylvania in 2012, and that film shuffled through multiple directors before settling on Genndy Tartakovsky.”
