Gorgon is a mythical Greek monster. According to some sources, they were even married to Poseidon in order to gain dominion over the ocean. Gorgons were female monsters with hair of living death, venomous stings for teeth, and claws for hands. They were protected by powerful charms that would turn anyone who looked at them to stone. The Gorgons were famous for their hideous faces and scaly skin, but they were also described as having brazen tails that could sweep away heroes who challenged them to battle. Gods or not, the Gorgons were certainly fearsome creatures. No one dared look at them directly because if you did, you would turn to stone. However, many myths have come down to us about Gorgons.
