What is Euryale?
'''Euryale''' is one of the [[gorgon]]s in [[Greek mythology|Greek]] myth. Her sisters are [[Stheno]] and the infamous [[Medusa]]. All three were once ravishing young women, particularly Medusa, who also happened to a priestess in the temple of [[Athena]] and took a vow of [[chastity]], until she was raped by [[Poseidon]]. This was much to the ire of Athena and to punish Medusa, she had her and her sisters, who had been watching, turned into monsters with snakes for hair and a killer gaze, which turned onlookers into stone. The trio of sisters were later banished to a remote island. A [[side effect]] of the transformation was that while Medusa's sisters were [[immortal]], she herself wasn't, which would lead to [[Perseus]] killing her. Euryale is well known for her loud cries, particularly after her younger sister's death. [[Category:Greek legendary creatures]]
