“Perseus was one of the most legendary Greek heroes”
“Then he flew to the home of the Gorgons, who were fast asleep”
“Guided by the goddess Athena, he finally cut off the head of the Medusa”
“Later, he encouraged his step-son to win fame by performing a great deed. After some thought, they decided that Perseus should try to kill the Medusa.”
