Selon Hésiode dans sa Théogonie, Méduse et ses sœurs étaient les sœurs des Grées et vivaient "par delà l'illustre Océan, vers l'empire de la Nuit, dans ces lointaines contrées, où demeurent les Hespérides à la voix sonore," (Théogonie, 270). Les trois sœurs sont souvent mentionnées ensemble, mais c'est Méduse qui est couramment représentée dans la littérature et l'art de la Grèce antique. Le nom de Gorgone vient du mot grec ancien γοργός, qui signifie "sinistre", "féroce" et "terrible", et le nom de Méduse dérive du verbe grec ancien μέδω qui signifie "garder" ou "protéger", ce qui est très approprié étant donné la qualité apotropaïque du visage de la Gorgone, connu sous le nom de Gorgoneion.
