The Gorgons were three monsters in Greek mythology, daughters of Echidna and Typhon, the mother and father of all monstersrespectively. Their names were Stheno, Euryale, and the most famous of them, Medusa. Although the first two were immortal,Medusa was not. Weirdly, Medusa was also not considered the child of Echidna and Typhon, but of Phorkys and Keto. Their faces were ugly and their hair was replaced by snakes; anyone who would gaze into their eyes would be turned to stone instantly.

HE GORGONES (or Gorgons) were three powerful, winged daemons
According to late classical poets, Medousa was once a beautiful maiden who was transformed by Athena into a monster as punishment for lying with Poseidon in her shrine. However, early Greek writers and artists, simply portray her as a monster born of a monstrous family.
