"And six daughters were born from the mighty Deep and the mighty Old Man of the Sea. Three beauties, swan maidens, were born with silver-gray hair like sea foam... they looked like swans. But in the name of their father, Forkia, they were called forkids, and the gods and people called them grays - old women... Three other daughters were born with golden wings, and they flew through the air like sea winds. And they called one of them Spheno-Strong, for her strength, another Euryale-Far jumping, the third, which was more beautiful and braver than all, Medusa - Imperious. But the sisters have a formidable name - gorgons: lightning-eyed.
The Grays and gorgons were both immeasurable, eternally young and beautiful. Grays are sailing on the sea, gorgons are flying over the sea"⠀
But as usual in myths, there was not without female envy. Pallas Athena envied Medusa and challenged her to a competition, which Medusa won. Pallas was offended and set the Olympian gods on the forkid, who turned her sister into monsters known to everyone.
So, I decided to do a project. Quite by chance I saw the most beautiful golden crown. For several months I was drooling over it, but the price bit too much. But if fate favors, then there is no chance not to realize what you have planned. And the crown waited for me, and with a very good discount.
The issue of costumes took several more months to resolve. Elena, a great designer, sewed them for me, but like any high-class professional, she had a lot of workload. However, the wait was worth it, it turned out great transformer dresses, in which I also shot Grai.
