Revision as of 07:56, 4 March 2012

Originally in Greek mythology, the poet Homer speaks of a single Gorgon, whose grim visage is set in the aegis shield of Zeus. The Gorgon is a female monster with sharp fangs, hair of venomous snakes, and sometimes golden wings and brazen claws. Anyone who looks upon the face of the Gorgon is turned instantly to stone. It wasn't until the writings of the poet Hesiod the the number of Gorgons was increased to three. These were; Stheno the mighty, Euryale the far-springer and Medusa the queen. According to Hesiod they were the daughters of the sea god Phorcys and Ceto and lived far in the western ocean. It was later suggested that there were produced by Gaia to aid the Titans against the gods, but were slain by Athena. Of the three Gorgons, only Medusa was ever portrayed as mortal in later tales. While it is true that in the ancient Greek depictions of Gorgons, they were hideous and frightening creatures to behold, more modern and poetic depictions of them are as beautiful maidens, but with hair of living, venomous snakes.
