Sthenno

One of the three sisters known as the Gorgons.

The Gorgons, with the exception of Medusa, were immortal creatures and all three were hideous to behold; Sthenno and her two sisters had snakes on their heads, about their wrists and around their waists; Sthenno and her sister, Euryale, gave chase to Perseus after he beheaded Medusa but could not catch him; the Gorgons were the daughters of Phorkys (Phorcys) and Keto (Ceto) and sisters of the Graiae (the Gray Sisters).

For more detailed information on the Gorgons I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
