Extrait du document
(Strong) Greek One of the three Gorgons,
female monsters; daughter of Ceto, an ancient
sea goddess, and Phorcys; her sisters were Euryale
and Medusa. Stheno and Euryale were immortal,
while their sister, Medusa, was mortal.
The hero Perseus was sent by Polydectes to
retrieve the head of a Gorgon. Of course, he chose
Medusa because she was mortal. Her sisters shared
with Medusa the power to turn people to stone when
the mortals looked into the Gorgon's eyes. The sisters
chased Perseus after his theft of Medusa's head,
raking the air with their great claws.
