EntranceKlutzy951:

No. Only Ovid explicitly paints Medusa an innocent victim. No other version explicitly states she was innocent. No other version explicitly states Poseidon raped her. We in the modern read that into the other versions because of Ovid.
Athena has no reason to be mad at Medusa unless Medusa betrayed her. Athena is not Artemis. She is not inherently offended by women losing their virginity. She is not only the wisodm goddess, she is a justice goddess to boot, and the justice deity who proclaimed rape a crime. Athena is also the goddess who aided Perseus to k*ll Medusa.
In order to call Medusa a victim, in order to call Poseidon a rapist, you also have to call Athena unjust. You also throw a massive wrench in the story of Perseus.
About a century before Ovid wrote Metamorphosis, Athens rebelled against Rome. This left a bad taste in the mouth on both sides of the conflict. Ovid may have been commissioned to frame Athens as horrible, and one way to do that would be demonizing two of their most significant deities (Athena and Poseidon). Ovid did eventually get himself exiled, but the evidence that Metamorphosis played a role in that exile is weak. It was most likely his abrasiveness with authority and Octavian's short fuse that got him exiled. It seems like it must have been Ovid's poor attitude, as even Tiberius wouldn't lift his exile.

MonkeyTail29:

I guess I would be the Atropos in this metaphor.

Thatzflow:

And then he accidentally k**led his dad years later. Damn, drama really did help me learn some Greek mythology.
