In Greek mythology, Gorgo () can refer to the following individuals:
Gorgo, one of the multiple women of Aegyptus, king of Egypt. By the latter, she became the mother of six princes: Periphas, Oeneus, Aegyptus, Menalces, Lampus and Idmon. Her sons were wed and slayed by their cousin-wives, daughters of King Danaus of Libya and Pieria during their wedding night.Apollodorus, 2.1.5 According to Hippostratus, Aegyptus had his progeny by a single woman called Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus.Tzetzes, Chiliades 7.37, p. 368-369 In some accounts, he consorted with his cousin Isaia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.Scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, Notes on Book 3.1689 Gorgo, a Cretan woman, wooed by many men, among them her kinsman Asander, who had lost all his wealth. During his funeral she looked out of the window to get a glimpse, and was turned into stone, paralleling the Cypriot myths of Arsinoe and Anaxarete.Plutarch, Of Love 766a
