In Greek mythology, Stheno (/ˈsθiːnoʊ,ˈsθɛnoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Σθενώ, romanized: Sthenṓ, lit. 'forceful')[1] and Euryale (/jʊəˈraɪəli/yuu-RY-ə-lee; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυάλη, romanized: Euryálē, lit. 'far-roaming')[2] were two of the three Gorgons, along with Medusa, sisters who were able to turn anyone who looked at them to stone.[3] When Perseus beheaded Medusa, the two Gorgons pursued him but were unable to catch him.
