Stheno (the mighty), Euryale (the far-springer), and Medusa (the queen).
The Three Gorgons are characters from Greek mythology.

They are three winged monstrous sisters called Euryale, Medusa and Stheno, with live snakes for hair and huge teeth and claws.

The term Gorgon is occasionally used to describe an unpleasant or extremely fierce woman, such as my ex-wife.

Medusa is one of the three Gorgon sisters, along with Stheno and Euryale, who share this terrifying characteristic. The term "Gorgon" derives from the Greek word "gorgos," meaning "dreadful" or "terrible," emphasizing their fearsome nature.
