Medusa and Her Sisters

Three sisters Medusa, Stheno and Euryale From Greek mythology Winged women With venomous snakes for hair Two immortal, one not King recruits Perseus to slay Medusa The only mortal one She happened to be pregnant Out of her headless body sprang Pegasus a winged horse and a giant with a gold sword Makes a terrific story Do not gaze into Medusa’s eyes Even though she has been beheaded Or you might turn into stone

I have heard of Medusa all my life, but never read this Greek mythology. Thanks. I know more about the story now.
