* The Gorgon | * Contradicting ''The Gaze of the Gorgon'', ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' TV story ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (TV story)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'' refutes the existence of the mythological snake-haired humanoids in [[Greek mythology]] called Gorgons, instead calling them an embellishment of the "melodramatic" [[Greek]]s who witnessed a parasitic [[Gorgon]] race originating millions of light-years from Earth. The story also establishes only three Gorgons on Earth, all three of which died on Earth during or before ''Eye of the Gorgon''. | ||
