This.
The Naga are underwater creatures that feed on what is in the sea and humans if the ship is small enough for them to conquer.
A Lamia are sirens, living by the sea, luring young men into their arms where they consume them. They are often beautiful and stays forever young (I do not remember if their immortal powers are linked to consumption of love and life-energy from men, but it is possible... It's been a couple of years since I had Mythology classes, or played Age of Mythology)
A Medusa is technically just one monster, the Medusa. And she is a Lamia with special powers, often considered a branch of stand-alone monsters.
Hmmmm.....
Sifting through my mount collection because when BtA mounts go live, all of my toons will have all of my mounts, so I need to decide who gets which ones.
Assuming that the mounts with restrictions will still be restricted (faction, proffesion, class, race, etc.), I THINK I should still be able to get everyone their own individual land mounts and flyers.
Gorgon - Half snake woman who turns people to stone.
Lamia - Half snake woman who wants to eat you.
I see little difference.

Gorgon.
Lamia
I just read that it was believed that the Lamia race was considered to have vampiric powers, like sucking blood and living in total darkness.
So there is some truth in the fiction, and some fiction in the truth.

Gorgons have just as much to do with Lamias as wolfs have with dogs.
Very little difference.
