Petrification, defined as turning people into solid stone, is a common theme in folklore and mythology, as well as in some works of modern literature. Geologist Amos Brown noted that fossils are to be found all over the world, a clear evidence to human beings from earliest times that living beings can indeed turn into stone.
Stheno, Euryale and Medusa were Gorgan, three monstrous sisters with living venomous snakes for hair and the power to petrify anyone who met their gaze. Of the three Gorgon sisters, Medusa was mortal. Perseus killed Medusa by beheading her and afterwards used her severed head as a weapon to petrify various enemies.
