Once a beautiful woman having an affair with Poseidon. They had sex in Athena's temple and Poseidon's sea-like nature made salt stains on the walls. Athena caught them and was very angry so she cursed Medusa and her 2 sisters to be ugly forever but only Medusa was immortal. She later had her head cut off by Perseus -Zeus's son- but wasn't killed.
