Fairies

Faeries, also known as fairies, fey, or fae, have their origins in Old French historical romance stories. Throughout history, mythical creatures or spirits have appeared in various myths, legends, and stories, and they continue to do so today. Most people imagine tiny, winged, magical beings when they think of fairies or faeries. Faeries were rarely depicted with wings outside of Victorian art. Faeries were said to fly using magic and occasionally catch a ride on the back of a friendly bird in folklore.

Gorgon

Like Medusa, the Gorgons were terrifying creatures capable of turning their prey to stone with a single glance. The Gorgons’ appearance was a strange mix of beautiful and terrifying, with their most distinguishing feature being that they wore live snakes instead of fur. Gorgon myths teach us not to be fooled solely by appearances.
