medusa gorgon

Medusa, whose name probably comes from the ancient Greek word for “ guardian ” – was one of the three Gorgons, daughters of the sea gods Forcys and Ceto, and sisters of the Greas, Echidna and Ladon. All of Medusa’s siblings were monsters by birth, and although she was not, she had the misfortune to become the most horrible of them all. mitologi yunani medusa
