THEY SHARED ONE EYE AND ONE TOOTH AMONGST ONE ANOTHER, BUT THEY LOST EVEN THAT WHEN PERSEUS STOLE THEIR EYE AND LATER THREW IT INTO A LAKE.
AS THE STORY GOES, KING POLYDECTES SENT PERSEUS OFF TO BRING HIM BACK MEDUSA'S HEAD; SO PERSEUS WENT OFF IN SEARCH OF THE GRAIAI. HE HAPPENED UP THEM JUST AS THEY WERE PASSING THE EYE BETWEEN THEM AND SNATCHED IT AWAY...SAYING THAT IT WOULD NOT BE RETURNED TO THE SISTERS UNTIL THEY TOLD HIM WHERE THE GORGON'S LIVED. IN DESPERATION, THEY TOLD PERSEUS WHERE THEY LIVED WHICH FURTHER LED HIM TO FINDING HADES INVISIBLE HELMET AND WINGED SHOES. THUS, PERSEUS WAS ABLE TO DESTROY MEDUSA BECAUSE OF HIS INVISIBILITY AND HIS NEW FOUND ABILITY TO FLY.
DESPITE BEING SO EASILY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, THE GRAIAI WERE ACTUALLY VERY WISE.

When Coatlicue was impregnated by a magical ball of feathers, Coyolxauhqui rounded up her 400 siblings, the Centzonuitznaua (Gods of the southern stars), and led them in an attack on their mother. Just as Coyolxauhqui was about to decapitate her mother, her son Huitzilopochtli sprang from his mother's womb, fully armed. He slew all 400 of the star Gods and cut off the head of Coyolxauhqui, throwing it into the sky where it became the moon.
