Euryale

One of the three sisters known as the Gorgons; her name means Wide-Wanderer.

The Gorgons, with the exception of Medusa, were immortal creatures and all three were hideous to behold; Euryale and her two sisters had snakes on their heads, about their wrists and around their waists; Euryale and her sister, Sthenno, gave chase to Perseus after he beheaded Medusa but could not catch him.

The Gorgons were the daughters of Phorkys (Phorcys) and Keto (Ceto) and sisters of the Graiae (Gray Sisters).

For more detailed information on the Gorgons I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
