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
