Some way off from its near vertex (which happened to be between terrible Dino and Pemphredo the stinger), I hid behind a shrub of briar to reconnoiter and soon induced, concerning the single eye and tooth they shared, their normal mode of circulation.
Then with her right hand Pemphredo took the eye from Dino's left, clapped it in place, and scanned, while Dino with her right took tooth from Enyo's left, popped it in to say "Nothing", then passed it on to Pemphredo, who passed the eye around to Enyo, put in the tooth, and said "Nothing".
I lunged to her right, Pemphredoward, just as she clapped the organ in; by the time she was toothed to cry "Something!" Pemphredo has eared me at her feet and tapped Enyo for the eye, at the same time reaching right for the her-turn tooth.

 Graeae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Graeae took the form of three grey-haired old women, though poets might give them the euphemistic designation "beautiful." Their age was so great that a childhood for them was hardly conceivable.
Hesiod reports their names as Deino ("dread", the dreadful anticipation of horror), Enyo ("horror" the "waster of cities" who had an identity separate from this sisterhood) and Pemphredo ("alarm") (Theogony, 270 - 74; also Apollodorus,ii.4.2; sometimes spelled Porphredo).
Like another set of crones at the oldest levels of both Germanic and Norse mythology, they had but one eye and one tooth among them.
