In Greek mythology, the Gorgon refers to three sisters: Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa. Medusa is the most famous of the three, known for her hair of snakes and the ability to turn anyone who looks at her into stone. While Stheno and Euryale are immortal, Medusa is mortal and is often depicted in stories as being slain by the hero Perseus. The Gorgon's head, especially Medusa's, symbolizes danger and the power to petrify, often used in art and mythology to ward off evil.
