Mythology[]
| “ | While Medusa is the most famous of the Gorgons, there were actually several of them, although only three are named in Greek mythology: Medusa, Euryale and Stheno. Only Medusa was mortal. The Gorgons were monstrous creatures covered with scales, with hair of living serpents, hands of brass, and sharp fangs. It is unclear if it was seeing the Gorgons' horrid visage or meeting their gaze that could turn the viewer to stone. The Gorgons lived far to the west, where they guarded an entrance to the Underworld. | ” |
