In Greek mythology, the Gorgons (Esteno, Euriale and Medusa) are daughters of the divinity Typhoon and Echidna, a monstrous serpentine nymph. These Gorgons are considered pre-Olympic creatures, described with bronze hands, sharp fangs and with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Esteno is the oldest of the three, known for being the most ferocious and independent. In the first photograph attached to this article we intention are to represent the force that Esteno transmits, allowing us to see his true face under the shell that protects it.
En la mitología griega las Gorgonas (Esteno , Euríale y Medusa) son hijas de la divinidad Tifón y Equidna, una monstruosa ninfa serpentina. Estas Gorgonas son consideradas criaturas preolímpicas descritas con manos de bronce, colmillos afilados y serpientes por cabellos. Esteno es la mayor de las tres, conocida por ser la más feroz e independiente. En la primera fotografía adjunta a este artículo mi intención era representar la fuerza que Esteno transmite, permitiéndonos observar su verdadero rostro debajo de la coraza que la protege.
Euríale is the second daughter and like Esteno had a monstrous appearance, both shared in turn the quality of being immortal. Euriale was the most pious of the three, being the only one with "maternal" feelings, she is the one who weeps inconsolably to Medusa when she is beheaded by Perseus. In this second image we can see the same creature with three different expressions that, for us, represent the unification of these three sisters.
Euríale es la segunda hija y al igual que Esteno poseía una apariencia monstruosa, ambas compartían a su vez la cualidad de ser inmortales. Euríale era la más piadosa de las tres siendo la única con sentimientos “maternos” pues fue ella la que lloró desconsoladamente cuando Medusa es decapitada por Perseo. En esta segunda imagen podemos apreciar a una misma criatura con tres expresiones diferentes, que para mí, representa la unificación de estas tres hermanas.
And finally we have Medusa, the most famous of the Gorgons. This had the disadvantage of being a mortal and the most beautiful of the three sisters. Medusa was part of the priestesses in the temple of Athena (goddess of war), when he knew that Poseidon (the god of the seas) was trying to seduce her, she ran to the temple seeking the protection of Athena, but did not attend his call, allowing Poseidon rapes her. Medusa was later punished by Athena, turning her into a monster with a look that could petrify anyone who saw her in the eye. As we know, Perseus was charged to behead her to use her head as a weapon. In this last image we wanted to represent her as an exotic woman, beautiful and with a torso of marble. I hope that the edition and the effort that we put in these images are to your liking. I remain attentive to your comments and positive reviews.
Y por último tenemos a Medusa, la más famosa de las Gorgonas. Esta tenía la desventaja de ser una mortal y las más hermosa de las tres. Medusa era parte de las sacerdotisas en el templo de Atenea (diosa de la guerra), al ver que Poseidón (el dios de los mares) tenía intenciones de seducirla corrió hasta el templo buscando la protección de Atenea, pero la diosa no acudió a su llamado, permitiendo que Poseidón la violara. Debido a lo ocurrido, Medusa fue castigada posteriormente por Atenea, convirtiéndola en un monstruo con una mirada que podía petrificar a cualquiera que la viera a los ojos. Como sabemos, a Perseo le encargaron decapitarla para usar su cabeza como un arma. En esta última imagen quise representarla como una mujer exótica, bella y con un torso de mármol. Espero que la edición y el esfuerzo que le puse a estas imágenes sean de su agrado. Quedo atenta a sus comentarios y críticas positivas.

Very impressive photogrphs. The trinity was a favourite way to represent deities in ancient times. Most of the times the reason was to show 3 different aspects of a single one😊
