The Gorgons, in Greek mythology, were three monstrous sisters: Medusa, Euryale, and Stheno. They were often depicted as having snakes for hair.

History

It is unknown whether the Gorgons ever actually existed. However, a Gorgon's head appeared on the floor of the main room of Gallowmere's hilltop mausoleum in the late 14th century. A Gorgon also appeared on the floor of a room in the Wulfrum Hall, a vampire residence in London in the late 19th century.

Characteristics

Appearance

The Gorgon depicted on the floor of the hilltop mausoleum had several strands of hair which were snakes. She had sharp teeth and the eyes of a snake. She wore a circlet on her head.

Version specific differences
