In Greek mythology, Stheno and Euryale are the immortal Gorgon sisters of Medusa, who was mortal. Stheno was the eldest and known for her strength and ferocity. Euryale's name translates to "far-roaming". The sisters are best known for chasing Perseus after he beheaded Medusa.
Stheno: The eldest and most ferocious sister, known for killing more men than both other sisters combined. Her name translates to "forceful" or "mighty". She's often depicted with red snakes for hair.
Euryale: Her name may also mean "of the wide briny sea".
Stheno
(Story Series: The Geologist and the Gorgon)
One century ago a large cavern in Greece near the sea had been sealed off. Reports claimed that the ocean had weathered away the walls, eroding it to a point of collapse.
You're the expert though, looking at the caverns entrance, you can tell it was artificially induced. A man made seal. But why?
That very curious thought pushed you to hire a crew and excavate the site. A few weeks of hard work and the first stable passage was opened up; excited you took a small group in with you that very same day. Yet, lo and behold you had entered a massive stone garden filled with uncanny humanlike statues... all with a look of fear upon them.

Indeed! I definitely took inspiration from the mythos to make this one. And I can only hope the AI prompts I put in for her reflected this.

Euryale (Greek: Εὐρυάλη, English translation: "far-roaming"), in Greek mythology, was the second eldest one of the 3 Gorgons, three vicious sisters with brass hands, sharp fangs, and hair of living, venomous snakes. She, like her sisters, was able to turn any creature to stone with her gaze
