Graeae
Imagine three sea hags, their hair the color of storm clouds from the day they were born. These grotesque sisters shared not just their fate, but even their senses – a single, detachable eye and tooth that they passed between them.
Parents: Phorcys and Ceto
Siblings: The Gorgons
Perseus, the cunning hero on a quest to slay Medusa, encountered these hags. He knew their legend – that they possessed knowledge of the Gorgon’s location. But wresting such knowledge from these loathsome creatures wouldn’t be easy. Perseus stole their singular eye and tooth, leaving them bickering and helpless. Desperate to get their senses back, they bartered the location of Medusa’s lair in exchange for the stolen eye and tooth. With this crucial information, Perseus continued his quest, forever etching the image of the Graeae, the hags of the sea, into the tapestry of his legend.
