Gorgon Gorgon In Greek mythology, a Gorgon (; plural: Gorgons, "Gorgon"/"Gorgo") is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient Greek literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus. The name derives from the ancient Greek
Sisters of Mary of the Presentation for elderly Sisters. Before the remaining Sisters could be evicted, World War I (1914-1918) broke out and spread across Europe. The Motherhouse was conscripted by the government for use as a military hospital, named “Complementary Hospital #42.” Because the government had seized the Sisters’ possessions the Motherhouse had no furnishings, so the Sisters appealed to the people of Broons. Days before the first wounded arrived the townsfolk of Broons, and other nearby communities, donated the furnishings necessary for the Sisters to care for the wounded. Many of the Sisters exiled to foreign lands returned to care for the wounded soldiers.
