The Gorgons faces and figures were truly beautiful but they were terrifying, dragon-like creatures, covered with golden scales and having hissing snakes for hair. Two of the Gorgons, Stheno (strength) and Euryale (wide sea), were immortal; Medusa however could be killed. Perseus killed Medusa and brought back her head, with the help of Hermes and Athena. From Medusa’s blood sprang Pegasus, her ‘son’ by the god Poseidon. [Their triplet sisters, the Graeae, guarded the way to the Gorgon's home beyond the sea, almost at the end of night; The three "old women" or "gray ones". They are the daughters of Phorcys (a son of Gaia and Pontus) and Ceto (his sister). The Graeae are the sisters and guardians of the Gorgons. They were gray-haired from birth and have only one eye and one tooth between them. They are Enyo ("horror"; coincidentally ‘Raiding Falcon’ in Shogi Variants), Deino ("dread") and Pemphredo ("alarm").] Gorgons < Gorgon Ch., Royal Fury, 2000 AD. There are no ‘Graeae’ in Chess.
