Gorgon
What is a Gorgon?
A Gorgon is a mythical creature from ancient Greek mythology.
There are three Gorgons: Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa.
They are sisters who have snakes for hair and can turn anyone who looks at them into stone.
Medusa is the most famous and the only mortal one.
She was killed by the hero Perseus, who used a shield to avoid her gaze and cut off her head.
Some scholars suggest that the Gorgons represent the forces of nature, such as storms, winter, and darkness, that can be destructive and frightening.
Their eyes may symbolize the divine power of the gods, or the ability to see beyond the ordinary.
And their snake hair may be a sign of wisdom, fertility, or regeneration.
