Euryale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euryale ("far-roaming"), in Greek mythology, was one of the immortal Gorgons, vicious female monsters with brass hands, sharp fangs and hair of living, venomous snakes. Her sister Stheno was immortal and sister Medusa was mortal. She was a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, or sometimes, Typhon and Echidna.

• There is another Euryale, mother of the hunter Orion.

[edit] Modern appearances

Euryale and Stheno appear in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, published by DC Comics.
