In the Fate-Verse, the Sisters are all Godesses, not mortals. She was never raped by Poseidon, if anything her flashbacks indicate a more positive relationship between them as she best remembers the Pegasus he gave her. There is no indication that anything negative happened between them.

Also, while indirectly responsible, Athena does not do anything to forcibly make her the Gorgon, she becomes that as a result of her situation mentally polluting her. Athena's curse was simply to invert the Faith humans (they revered and worshipped all three sisters as Goddesses, but Medusa had her older body so she was revered through desire/love instead of idolisation like her sisters, something which drew Athena's jealousy and ire as the Goddess of Love) had in her to Fear. That resulted in her being hated by the masses and banished to the Shapeless Isles, with legends of her as a Monster being created and resulting in heroes and warriors coming to kill her.

It was the end result of that occuring that caused her to start becoming the Gorgon after she started to get mentally polluted by enjoying killing those who came to kill her or potentially harm her sisters whom she protected.
