Uh, a Gorgon is a sister of Medusa, and Medusa and her sisters turned people into stone with their stare, with their eyes... Actually, they were called the Gorgons, all three of them. The other two were immortal, and Medusa was the only one Hercules could kill.

Oh, that's true. It's Theseus, or Perseus. I remember it's one of the four/five.

It was Perseus that killed Medusa. He used his mirror-sheild and Hermes's flying sandals. Then he rescued Andromeda for the heck of it, I guess.

It was Perseus who slew Medusa. This is him with her severed snakey-tressed head. Maybe we'll get a mention of Perseus, or a character with that name. I love mythic allusions.

Yeah, y sister had to see that picure in her textbook. She learned it a long time ago. But mythology is awesome. Greek mythology, especially....anyways, yeah, I forget a lot. Sorry, but I have to say..that picture is pretty cool, though it's gruesome.

It's a type of soft coral, shaped like a tree if I remember properly. Maybe there will be some of these corals in our grim grotto.
