About Deino

Was one of the three Graeae (old ones, or old woman), the grey ones, the other two were Enyo [warlike] and Pemphredo [alarm, wasp], they were often considered as witches, and were related to Medusa and her sisters, collectively known as the Gorgons. It was the Graeae that Perseus had to gain the information from, of the whereabouts of the Hesperides, the nymphs who guarded Hera' orchard where the Golden Apples grew. The Graeae were Stygian nymphs of the river Styx in Hades-Hell, they were said to be the daughters of Phorcys, and Ceto, thus, also referred to as Phorcydes, they were reported to have only one and one tooth between them, but this is to misunderstand what they represented, Athena-e in her role as being able to bring about sudden destruction.
