Eldritch History: RPG Legends & Lore
Gorgons - Snake Women or Metal Bulls?
If you're familiar with any edition of D&D, Greco-Roman mythology, video games such as Assassin's Creed or God of War, TV shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or Charmed, and movies such as Percy Jackson or Clash of the Titans then you've probably heard of Medusa and gorgons. This episode takes a dive into the history of gorgons and Medusa in mythology and in D&D to explain the reasons why all Medusa are gorgons but not all gorgons are Medusa.
