Medusa was a Gorgon.The Gorgons are three sisters, daughters of ancient, pre-titan gods, Phorkys and Keto. The sisters Sthenno and Euryale were immortal but the third, Medusa, was mortal. All three were so hideous, the shock of seeing them would turn anyone to stone. Medusa is called The Gorgon or simply, Gorgon.
When Perseus (a son of Zeus) killed Medusa by cutting off her head (Theogony 280), from the drops of her blood sprang Pegasus and Khrysaor. In The Shield of Herakles by Hesiod, we are given a glimpse of Perseus' reckless escape from the angry sisters after he had beheaded Medusa. He was wearing winged sandals and the Helm of Hades but the Gorgons were at his heels, the serpents on their heads and at their waists were snapping at Perseus as he sped away (Sword 220).
Athene carried the aegis of Zeus at Troy. The gigantic head of Gorgon, a thing of fear and horror, was the centerpiece of a series of warcraft icons: Terror, Hatred and Onslaught
