Perseus Graeae

myth:perseus_graeae

Sent to fetch the Gorgon's head, Perseus first sought the three grey sisters, the Graeae, who shared between them a single eye and a single tooth. As they passed the eye from hand to hand he snatched it, and would not return it until they told him the way to the nymphs who held the winged sandals, the cap of darkness, and the bag for the head. — Greek myth
