Perseus

PERSUES :]



Persues was born to the mother Danae. Danae and him and were put into a chest and tossed into the sea by Acrisius. He was trying to kill Danae and her baby. He expected it to sink and they would dround. The chest floated and arrived on the island of Seriphos.

Persues had nothing to give the kings new bride at the time so the king set him off to find the head of Medusa. At the same time Athena wanted medusa’s head as well. She had decorated a shield for Perseus. She had giving him places to look in the search for Medusa. "Seek ye the nymphs who guard the helmet of invisibility," Athena counseled the young hero. "Ask the Gray Sisters, the Graeae, born hags with but a single eye in common. They know - if they'll tell you ask him who holds the heavens on his back - Atlas, renegade Titan, who pays eternally the price of defying Zeus almighty Why, that's simple enough - at the very western edge of the world."Athena also added Perseus found the nymphs in Hades, and got gear, consisting of the helmet of invisibility, winged sandals and a special pouch for carrying Medusa's head. Medusaa had two really big giants outside of where she stays. Because of this reason Persues had to come up with an escape plan. Perseus returned the head to Acrisius. Then he came to find out that the madden turned out to be the daughter of Acrisius. Perseus wanted to rescue the princess, Andromeda for her hand in marriage. The king agreed because he knew there was a huge beast in the way of his daughters tower.The beast tried to attack Perseus.In defense Persues stabed the beast with his sword repeatedly.
