Graeae in Greek Mythology

Here are some works of art that I have created with the help of artificial intelligence and are supposed to represent the Graeae from Greek mythology. They are also known as the grey sisters or the greys and the name is associated with their grey hair since their birth and all three together had only one eye and their names were Deino, Enyo and Pemphredo. As her parents, the sea god Phorcys and the daughter of Gaia Keto are also known and there are various traditions about them and according to the famous poet Hesiod there were only two of them in total and also the representation of them varies strongly and often they are also represented in the form of a swan or beautiful women and in other as old women. Often they were only presented with one tooth and only when they stayed together they had the opportunity to see or eat and a dark cave near the Atlas Mountains was known as their place of residence. In general, they play some interesting roles in Greek mythology and their best-known appearance is in the legend of Perseus when he made his way into the fight against Medusa and on his journey he managed to outwit the three so that they showed him the place of medusa. He managed to do this in which he had offered to keep their eye on the way and while he was doing so he extorted them and decided not to give them the eye again until she told them where Medusa is and there are also different versions of the legend and in another he outsled her with the help of a camouflage cap to take their eye. Without them, perseus would probably not have found the way to Medusa and often they are also regarded as an embodiment of the seas and even if they play a rather unknown role, they are of great importance and they have shaped the art era and are often depicted in literary works or paintings.
