In Greek mythology, a gorgon beheaded by Perseus (6)

I believe the answer is:

medusa

(Other definitions for medusa that I've seen before include "Hideous female" , "Mythical woman transformed into a Gorgon" , "Amused like Greek Gorgon" , "Gorgon killed by Perseus - jellyfish" , "Amused (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
