		Gorgophone is a central figure in the history of Sparta, having been married to two kings, Oebalus of Sparta (actually Lakonia, Sparta's region) and Perieres of Messenia, the region to the west of Lakonia which Sparta, in the late 8th or early 7th century B.C. enslaved.
		One of the sons of Oibalos and Gorgophone was Tundareus, father of Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, Castor, and Pollux, and another was Ikarios, father of Odysseus's wife, Penelope.

		She was of Lelege descent, the Leleges being a people of Asia Minor who settled in Lakonia.
		Thus Perseus's descendants played a central role in the Homeric epics and the pre-history of Greece, however we choose to understand the figure of Perseus himself.
		Gorgo herself was renowned in Spartan legend, and it is curious that she bore the name that was so closely identified with the legendary Perseus and his daughter, who, if they really lived, pre-dated Gorgo by over seven centuries.

	The Hercules Circle of Gogi
		The Parthians/Gorgons are easily identified as being the root of that snake line, and Hercules depicts a major Gorgon bloodline, for his ancestor, Perseus, killed the Gorgon Medusa and then gave birth to "Gorgophone"...an illustration quite apparently of two Gorgon peoples that had been in mortal conflict.
		The lion killing the bull behind Perseus (in illustration "d") depicts, in my opinion, the Perseus Gorgophones killing the Medusa, for the Medusa probably represented the early Gorgons of Taurus (it is made fairly clear in myth that the Medusa was related to the Hyperboreans).
		Note in mythology that it's Zeus who gives birth to Perseus, showing that the Gorgophones are an extension of the Medusa Gorgons depicted by Zeus.
