Snake-haired female (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gorgon

(Other definitions for gorgon that I've seen before include "(and 17) Italian cheese" , "Petrifying woman of myth" , "In Greek myth, her glance turned people to stone" , "Monster, petrifying glance" , "eg Medusa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
