Gorgon is the Greek word for "hideous" or "horrid" . It means "deer" in Greek, which means "terrible" in this case. The story of gorgon goes back to when she was a beautiful girl. She was so proud of herself that she offended Athena, the goddess of the underworld, who turned her into an ugly monster. From her blood, she was born a winged horse, named pegasus. The winged horse is a symbol of the human spirit, and the human body is a sign of the existence of the soul. The narrator tells us that the smell of the pig's mouth and the stench of the "gorgon shell" trick the pig into thinking that it is going to fight. The pig wins the first stage of the battle, but it is not enough to win the second stage.
