I posted the above message in name of my friend Alexandra, who is at the moment not able to type anything. Just in case you are confused:)
Gorgona
Gorgona is the Greek word for mermaid. It is derived from the name Gorgon, the mythical monster. Gorgon in turn is derived from the adjectice "gorgo" meaning grim/austere/ferocious. A related verg "gorgoumai" is referred to horses when they become very pissed off :)
