Badass Mythical Women and Creatures → The Graeae

In Greek Mythology, the Graeae were three sisters who shared one eye and one tooth among themselves. They were the daughters of Phorcys and Ceto, and therefore the sisters of the Gorgons. They are connected with swans, and supposedly took the form of old, graying ladies. They were named Deino (Dread), Enyo (Horror) and Pemphredo (Alarm), and inhabited a cove near their sisters, the Gorgons.

Perseus stole their eye while they were passing it between themselves, and ransomed it in return for Medusa’s location. As consequence, Medusa was slain, and Chrysaor and Pegasus were created.

The Graiai The Graiai, or the the three Gray Sisters, were beautiful. They were described as "fair-faced and swan-like" but they's had gray hair from the day they were born and they shared one eye and one tooth, but they lost even that when Perseus stole their eye and later threw it in a lake. Despite being so easily taken advantage of, they were very wise. Their names were:

Deino or Dread (or Terrible)

Enyo or Horror (or War-like)

Pemphredo or Alarm (or Wasp)
