The woman transformed into a Gorgon by Athena (6)

I believe the answer is:

medusa

(Other definitions for medusa that I've seen before include "Amused by the mythical gorgon?" , "Mythological gorgon" , "Snake-haired gorgon" , "Mythical woman transformed into a Gorgon" , "Gorgon slain by Perseus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
