Graea (Gray Women) Greek Daughters of Phorcys and Ceto; sisters of the Gorgons. Their names were Dino, Enyo, and Pemphredo. The personification of old age, they had only one eye and one tooth to share among themselves. Perseus stole the eye as they passed it from one to another. He gave it back to them after they had told him the whereabouts of their sister, Medusa, and where to find the helmet, winged sandals, and magic wallet he needed to complete his quest.
