Graeae Graeae See More Graeae Pictures > The Graeae were three sisters in Greek mythology, who shared one eye and one tooth among them. Their names were Deino (dread), Enyo (horror) and Pemphredo (alarm). They were the daughters of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto , and sisters of the Gorgons . They took turns using their eye and their tooth. They appeared in the myth of Perseus , who was trying to find out where three magical objects were located, in order to kill Medusa . He went to the Graeae 's cave, and stole their eye. He then told them he would return it if they told him where the three objects were. Graeae Is also called Grey Sisters, Graiai, Graiae. GRAEAE (Graiai) - One-Eyed Grey Hags of Greek Mythology Grey, Old Women (graia) Perseus and Graea, Athenian red-figure krater C5th B.C., Archaeological Museum of Delos GRAIAI (Graeae) were two, some say three, sea hags who personified the white foam of the sea.

They were grey-haired from birth and shared amongst themselves a single, detatchable eye and tooth. The hero Perseus stole these when he was searching for the Medousa (Medusa) , compelling the hags to reveal the location of their sister. The names of the Graiai suggest rather dire monsters--Deino is the "the terrible," Enyo "the warlike" and Persis "the destoyer." Another, Pemphredo, "she who guides the way," was so named for her role in the story of Perseus. The sisters formed the chorus of a play entitled the Phorcydes by Aeschylus, part of the dramatist's trilogy on the life of Perseus. The Graiai were usually depicted as old crones. According to Aeschylus, however, they were Seiren-shaped monsters with the head and arms of old women and the bodies of swans. It is worth comparing the Graiai with the monster Lamia whom Greek writers likewise describe as a monstrous Libyan woman with removable eyes.

The Scholiast on Aeschylus (Prom. 793) describes the Graeae, or Phorcides, as he calls them, as having the figure of swans, and he says that the three sisters had only one tooth and one eye in common, which they borrowed from one another when they wanted them. It is conmmonly believed that the Graeae, like other members of the family of Phorcys, were marine divinities, and personifications of the white foam seen on the waves of the sea.

SOURCES Graeae | Villains Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Original Mythology The Graeae, also known as the Stygian Witches or the Grey Sisters, were three grey haired hag-like sisters in greek mythology. They were the children of the elemental gods Phorcys and Ceto, and they were the goddesses of old age. They had grey hair, empty eye sockets, and toothless mouths from birth. They were the sisters of the gorgons. Because of their lack of godlyness, the Graeae were given jurisdiction over a swamp. They were also given an eye to share among themselves. This eye gave them great knowledge and wisdom.

When the Gorgons were cursed by Athena, they entrusted their lokations to the Graeae, who kept quite for them until the day they met Perseus . Perseus was on a quest to destroy Medusa . He went to the lair of the Graeae for information of her whereabouts. He took their eye, and threatened to throw it in the swamp unless they told him where the gorgons were. Reluctantly, the Graeae told Perseus where Medusa was. Second Version In later versions of mythology, the Graeae were described as beautiful, apart from the fact that they had only on eye (they all had teeth in this version). This incarnation of the Graeae was not at all malevelant and evil like the original version. They willinglly told Perseus the whereabouts of Medusa. Since good looks and personalities don't fit the characters, this version of the Graeae has been generally ignored by modern day media. Original Clash of the Titans A different version of the Graeae appeared in the original Clash of the Titans. Instead of a swamp, they lived in the Stygian Wrelm.

In the movie they were reffered to as the Stygian Witches. It is important to note that they were not of godly descent. They were not immortal, and had no relationship with the gorgons. They lived in the Stygian Wrelm, killing and eating any lost travelers who stumbled upon their cave. They all had teeth, and shared a magical eye which not only gave them sight, but also magical knowlege and power. When Perseus came to their lair, they had a human cooking in their pot. They tried to trick Perseus into coming closer to them. When he didn't, they moved toward him. But then Perseus' owl, Bubo, snatched their eye and gave it to Perseus. Perseus forced them to tell him how to defeat the Kraken . They told him that the only way a human could kill the the Kraken was with the head of Medusa. Disney's Hercules The Three Fates Disney's movie Hercules had features reminisent of the Graeae. The were rotten and hag-like, and they all shared one eye. Because of the this, the Graeae and the Fates are often confused with eachother.

Percy Jackson and the Olymians: Sea of Monsters In the second Percy Jackson book, the Graeae were taxi drivers in the Tri State Area. They were hags, with grey hair, one eye, and one tooth. They could only be summoned by throwing a magical coin into a certain place in the pavment. It took all three of them to drive because of the one eye feature, and they spent most of the time bitching about who got the eye and the tooth. New Clash of the Titans A version similar to the Stygian Witches of the original Clash of the Titans appeared in the remake. In the new movie they looked undead, and and had no eye sockets. They saw through the eye by holding it in their hand. Like the Stygians of the first movie, they were not of godly Descent, but they were immortal. They are the most witch-like version of the Graeae. Their sentences are half comprised of strange words and tongues. They often say "The eye!" out of the blue. Io said that seeing the future had twisted the three witches, and that they were unpredictable. She also said that she and the witches were sisters in the sense that they had been touched by the gods.

When Perseus and his men arrived at the Stygian's lair, and said that they needed their counsel, the witches said that the knowlege demanded payment. They then attempted to grab the youngest soldier. But Perseus took the eye and threatened to drop off the cliff. The witches told Perseus, with much jibberish and "The eye!" between their sentences, how to kill the Kraken. As Perseus left, the Graeae told Perseus that he would die. Graeae, the monstrous old guards of the Gorgons Family of the Graeae The Graeae were the daughters of Phorcys, the god of danger, and the sea goddess Ceto. They were the sisters of the Gorgons. The Graeae were probably three monstrous sisters with the names Enyo ("the shocking"), Pemphredo ("the horryfying") and Deino ("the dreadful"). They became famous as the guards of the Gorgons, and Medusa in particular. The Appearance of the Graeae The Graeae had grey hair and the form of old women since their birth.

The possessed a total of one eye and one tooth, which they shared among each other. Enyo used to wear beautiful veils, whereas Pemphredo was wearing deep yellow veils. Deino was the most frightful one.

Their names were Deino (or Dino), Enyo, and Pemphredo (or Pephredo). (en) Die Graien (griechisch γραῖαι, Greisinnen) mit Namen Pemphredo, Enyo und Deino sind die Töchter des Phorkys und der Ketos. Sie sind in der griechischen Mythologie als die drei Schwestern der Gorgonen oder auch als „die Grauen“ bekannt, da sie seit Geburt grauhaarig sind. Die Graien sind anscheinend nichts anderes als das personifizierte Alter.

Um sie von anderen greisen Göttinnen, wie den Moiren, zu unterscheiden, werden sie auch als die „Graeae des Phorkys“, „Phorkiden“ oder „Phorkyaden“ bezeichnet. Sie kamen schon als Greisinnen zur Welt und teilten sich zusammen einen Zahn und ein Auge, die sie sich gegenseitig bei Bedarf überließen. An ihrer Wohnstatt, einer Höhle am Fuße des Atlas, leuchteten weder Sonne noch Mond – ein Hinweis darauf, dass von Perseus sehr viel verlangt wurde, als er sich mit ihnen treffen musste. Perseus überlistet sie auf seiner Suche nach der Gorgo Medusa, deren Aufenthaltsort nur die Graien kennen, indem er ihnen anbietet, das Auge und den Zahn zu halten, damit sie seine Wegzehrung essen können, nach der es sie gelüstet. Perseus erpresst sie nun: Entweder sie sagen ihm, wo die Medusa zu finden sei, oder alle drei bleiben blind und zahnlos.

Nachdem er die Auskunft bekommen hat, gibt er ihnen wohl den Zahn zurück, wirft das Auge aber in den Tritonsee, so dass sie danach tauchen müssen und die in der Nähe wohnenden Nymphen durch dieses erzwungene Bad endlich vom Gestank der Graien befreit werden. Ein alternativer Handlungsverlauf wird von Karl Kerényi dargestellt: Die Graien halten jeweils einzeln Wache am Eingang zu den Gärten der Hesperiden, müssen sich somit beim Wachwechsel das einzige Auge überreichen und sind jeweils zu diesem Zeitpunkt alle zusammen blind. Perseus – zusätzlich unter dem Schutz seiner Tarnkappe – wartet auf diesen Augenblick und stiehlt den Graien das Auge, um sie erpressbar zu machen. Hesiod kennt nur zwei Graien, nämlich die „schöngewandete“ Pemphredo und die „safran-gewandete“ Enyo und betont deren schönes Gesicht.

Nach einer anderen Erzählung handelt es sich bei den Graien um schwanenähnliche greise Jungfrauen.

(fr) Las Grayas o Greas (en griego antiguo Γραῖαι Graĩai, ‘viejas’) eran deidades preolímpicas, tres hermanas hijas de Forcis, uno de los aspectos del ‘anciano hombre del mar’ (halios geron), y Ceto, por lo que se cuentan entre los Fórcides (siendo a veces consideradas deidades marinas, personificaciones de la espuma del mar). Las Grayas nacieron ya ancianas y con cabellos grises, aunque los poetas las designaban a veces eufemísticamente como «hermosas», y fueron haciéndose más y más viejas. Sus nombres eran Dino (‘temor’, la anticipación del horror), Enio (‘horror’, la «Destructora de Ciudades» que tenía una identidad separada de sus hermanas) y Pefredo, Penfredo o Pemfredo (‘alarma’).

Como otros conjuntos de viejas brujas de los niveles más antiguos de las mitologías germánicas y nórdicas, tenían un solo ojo y un único diente para todas, que compartían y usaban por turnos, durmiendo las dos a las que no les toca. Vivían en una cueva situada muy lejos hacia el ocaso, en un lugar donde siempre era de noche. Las Grayas pueden ser comparadas con las tres hilanderas del destino (las Moiras), las Nornas noreuropeas, o con la diosa báltica Laima y sus dos hermanas. (es) Le Graie (dal greco Γραῖαι, ossia grigie, nel senso di anziane), conosciute anche col nome di Forcidi, nella mitologia greca, erano figlie di Forco e di Ceto e sorelle delle Gorgoni.
