Stheno

Stheno ("forceful"), (Greek: Σθεννω), in Greek mythology, was one of the Gorgons, vicious female monsters with brass hands, sharp fangs and hair of living, venomous snakes. Unlike her sisters, Stheno was very independent. The second-youngest of the three sisters, she killed more people than both her sisters. Her sister Euryale was immortal and sister Medusa was mortal. Stheno's head was displayed when she died for all the gods to mock. She was a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, or sometimes, Typhon and Echidna.
