Hi everyone, many of you know me. If you don't, then please refer to me as Wolffe. Other than being a fan of this card game, I am also a fan of Greek mythology and lore. My mom would read them to me at bed time as a child, and once I started to learn to read I began studying them myself, going as far as to research every myth and every variation of said myth I could. Because of this, and the constant whining I have been hearing in the comments on various pages, I would like to clear up a few things. If see anymore in Teh future, I will try an clear those up as well. But first, let us clear up some of the more common.

First, the Gorgon sisters, or simply the Gorgons. Now many are complaining about the fact that only Medusa is snake like. :( Well, ask yourself this, have you ever heard any myth of the other two getting turned into snake like creates, no, because they never were. The Gorgons are children of the titan Oceanus. Like many children of titan, they came will some what beastly appearances, though they were still very much human in some ways. Medusa was the only one to be born mortal and of mortal form, her sister were truly immortal. However she was blessed with godly beauty until this was changed by Athena after posideon forced himself on Medusa in Athena's temple. It is a sad and admitly cruel act, and her new appearance eventually drives her made, thus creating medusa. But the point is she was the only changed, her sisters were already as such.

Next is the aegis, I have seen many complain that it is an armor. To that I would say to stop crying Teh river Styx, because it is actually correct! The aegis is depicted as two things: a shield used by both Athena and Zeus or a Animal garb/armor worn by Athena. If you look at many of the famed statues and depictions of Athena (Google them) you will notice a face like feature. This is the face of medusa, and that which Athena wears is the aegis, which causes all that look upon it great fear, a very helpful item for the Goddess of Military Strategy. She is not always shown wielding a shield, mostly her staff or spear, but she is often seen with the Aegis armor. It is not known if the two aegis are one in the same or seperate items forged from the same thing, but the aegis shield is more often associated with Zeus, not Athena.

If you don't believe me look it up. Google it or look at Wikipedia, I do not need such a thing, and rarely use it for such. If anyone has any question, please do so and ask.
