About the Gorgon
In Greek mythology, a Gorgon is a fearsome creature with snakes for hair and the ability to turn people to stone just by looking at them. The most famous of the Gorgons is Medusa, who was once a beautiful woman but was cursed by the goddess Athena for betraying her.
According to legend, the Gorgons were so terrifying that even their gaze could turn people to stone. They were often depicted as monstrous creatures with scaly bodies and wings, and their snake hair was said to be venomous.
Despite their fearsome reputation, the Gorgons have become popular figures in art and literature.
