In Greek mythology, gorgons were three monstrous sisters named Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale, who were born from the sea deities Phorcys and Ceto. They were known for having snakes for hair and the ability to turn anyone who looked at them into stone.

I can't believe this is the third time I'm going to have to explain this. Greek myths DO NOT have dates, so there isn't a date when the Gorgons are born. Oh, BTW, the three gorgons weren't born gorgons. They were three beautiful girls, but they were cursed by Athena.
