perseus

Intro Perseus is a hero in Greek mythology, known for slaying the Gorgon Medusa, whose gaze could turn people to stone. He was the son of Zeus and Danaë. Equipped with gifts from the gods, including Hermes' winged sandals, Hades' invisibility cap, and a reflective shield from Athena, Perseus beheaded Medusa and later used her head as a weapon. He also rescued Andromeda, a princess chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster, and eventually married her. Perseus is celebrated as a symbol of bravery, cleverness, and divine favor.
