[edit] Immortality

How exactly was Stheno's head displayed when she died if she was immortal? Perhaps someone is confusing her with Medusa, although I've never heard of Medusa's head being "mocked."

I have not been able to find anything about Stheno other than that she was immortal and the strongest of the Gorgons, and at that, those factors never had any significance in any ancient narrative that I know of, and I've searched on Perseus. I think I may have read that she was the oldest, though I could be mistaken about that. I think the claim about her head should be removed unless a citation can be found. --15:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

There are different forms of immortality. To some it means that an immortal can never be killed. To others it means that an immortal retains their youth and can live forever, but can still easily be killed by conventional means. Stheno would fall into the latter category.
