A [[Gorgon]] (/ˈɡɔːrɡən/; plural: Gorgons, Ancient Greek: [[Γοργών]]/[[Γοργώ]] Gorgṓn/Gorgṓ) is a creature in Greek mythology. Gorgons occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary, the term most commonly refers to three sisters who are described as having hair made of living, venomous snakes and horrifying visages that turned those who beheld them to stone. Traditionally, two of the Gorgons, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal, but their sister Medusa was not and was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus. | |wketx=A [[Gorgon]] (/ˈɡɔːrɡən/; plural: Gorgons, Ancient Greek: [[Γοργών]]/[[Γοργώ]] Gorgṓn/Gorgṓ) is a creature in Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, [[Medusa]] (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Ancient Greek: [[Μέδουσα]] "[[guardian]], [[protectress]]") also called [[Gorgo]], was one of the three [[monstrous]] [[Gorgon]]s, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto. | In Greek mythology, [[Medusa]] (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Ancient Greek: [[Μέδουσα]] "[[guardian]], [[protectress]]") also called [[Gorgo]], was one of the three [[monstrous]] [[Gorgon]]s, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair.
