==Mythology== In Greek mythology, [[Medusa]] was one of the Gorgons, three monstrous siblings. Medusa, unlike her sisters [[Stheno and Euryale]], was mortal, and was beheaded by Perseus. Chrysaor and Pegasus sprang from the blood of her decapitated body.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hesiod |title=Theogony |orig-year=c. 8-7 BCE |language=grc}}</ref> In art, Chrysaor's earliest appearance seems to be on the great pediment of the [[Temple of Artemis, Corfu]] dated to the early [[6th century BCE]], where he is shown beside his mother, Medusa.
