Agreed. I've never used the Gorgon as a 'direct' villain in any of
the campaigns I've run. None of my players have never had to go up
against him or his forces, with the exception of a couple of agents
and whatnot whose activities formed a very small sub-plot to the main
event. However, by keeping him as an omnipresent, omnipotent threat
lurking in the shadows, coupled with the couple of occasions when PCs
have run into an agent of his - despite the fact that his activities
were not even directed at them - has ensured that whenever something
big and bad seems to be going on (last time it was a mysterious force
of 'mercenaries' up to no good), they always look towards the
Gorgon's Crown with no small amount of paranoia.

Just because he's not done it so far, doesn't mean the Gorgon's not
out to get you...
