Description

In greek mythology, the gorgons were three sisters (Stheno, Euryale and Medusa) cursed to have living snakes for hair and the ability to turn anyone to stone upon eye contact. An interesting fact is that the gorgons were never really depicted as having a lower body of a snake. That image of the gorgorns was popularized by the 1981 film Clash of the Titans which had one of the Gorgons, Medusa, having a serpentine lower body.
