The Gorgons

The Gorgons (Γοργονες) were three Greek female monsters. Their names were Medusa (Μεδουσα), Euryale (Ευρυαλη), and Sthenno (Σθεννω). Of the three, Medusa was the only mortal Gorgon. The three Gorgons were depicted as winged women with large heads and snakes in the place of hair. They also had large eyes, wide mouths, and boar tusks. They were all daughters of Phorcys and Ceto.
