  • The Gorgons were three monstrous sisters with snakes for hair. Traditionally two of them are immortal, Stheno and Euryale, while Medousa, the third, was not.
  • Gorgons are in the game Blast RPG that can only be found on level 6.
  • The word "Gorgon" is of Ancient Greek origin, being Gorgō (Γοργώ, singular) and Gorgónes (Γοργόνες, plural) in standardized Ancient Greek. The term comes from the word "gorgos" (γοργός), which can be translated as "grim", "ugly", "fierce", and "terrible". Traditionally, there are only three gorgons: Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale. The meaning of "Medusa" (Μέδουσα) is not known for certain, but generally taken to be "queen" or "guardian". "Stheno" (Σθεννώ) means "strength", while "Euryale" (Εὐρυάλη) means "far-roaming".
  • In Ancient Greek mythology, the Gorgons (from the Greek word for "dreadful") were three monstrous sisters who had hair of living, venomous snakes, and a horrifying gaze that turned those who beheld them to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal, their sister Medusa was not, and was slain by the mythical hero Perseus.
  • Gorgons were a popular image of Greek mythology, appearing in the earliest of written records of ancient Greek religious beliefs such as those of Homer. Because of their legendary gaze, images of the Gorgons were put upon objects and buildings for protection. For example, an image of a Gorgon holds the primary location at the pediment of the temple at Corfu. It is the oldest stone pediment in Greece and is dated to c. 600 BC.
