"The whole kingdom lived in fear of Medusa and her sisters. They were gorgons: monstrous, terrifying creatures who lived in a cave and preyed on anyone who came near them. Instead of hair, they had snakes growing out of their heads. Unlike her sisters, Medusa was mortal and could, in theory, be killed. In reality, no one had ever come close to being able to defeat her. Anyone who looked directly at Medusa’s face was instantly turned to stone."
