Oh Lord Poseidon,
Why do you so forsake
The daughters of Phorcys?
My sisters are now lost to me.
My queen, your lover Medusa, was
Made a monster by cruel Athena
And murdered by her champion Perseus;
The other, youngest sister Stheno,
Lies shattered at my feet,
Turned to stone by our sister’s dead gaze
And crushed beneath
Hermes’ adamantine blade.
And I, oh tortured Euryale am I, was left here-
Lifeless stone imprisoning an
Immortal’s raging spirit.
Oh great Poseidon,
Lord of the seas,
I beg you-hear my cries!
Release me, oh lord,
Or I beg you,
Destroy me.

This prize poem is for *ellenmillion and is inspired by her deviation "Wings from Stones" [link] I have no idea why exactly, but after viewing this deviation, I was immediately reminded of the Gorgon legend.
I did a little wiki-research and got to work. I actually started writing this as a prose piece, but about halfway through I realized I was hearing it in verse and set out to re-write.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy it!
