Presentation transcript:

 Perseus and his mother Danae, landed on the island of Seriphos and were looked after by king Polydictes.

 Later, Polydictes tried to persuade Danae to marry him, she refused.  He felt she might change her mind if her son went away, so he teased Perseus for preferring his mother’s company to doing brave deeds like other young men.  He said Perseus should prove his courage by killing Medusa the Gorgon.

 Medusa had been turned into a hideous monster by Athene.  She had snakes instead of hair and anyone who looked at her was turned to stone.  She and her two sisters, also monsters, were called the Gorgons.

 As Athene had created Medusa, she decided to help Perseus kill her.  She gave him a shining shield and told him to only look at her reflection, never directly at her.  Hermes gave him a sickle and sent him to the nymphs in the underworld to borrow Pluto’s helmet of invisibility.  They also gave him a magic wallet (leather sack) and winged sandals.

 Perseus sought Medusa out and attacked her with his magic weapons.  He watched her in the polished shield, and managed to cut of her head, which he put in the magic wallet.  He escaped on the winged sandals.

 Flying home, Perseus saw a beautiful princess chained to a rock and fell in love.  This was Andromeda.  Her parents had boasted that she was lovelier than the nereids so Poseidon flooded their land.  To appease him, Andromeda was to be sacrificed to a sea- monster.

 Perseus waited for the sea monster and killed it.  He then freed Andromeda and married her.

 When they returned to Seriphos, Polydectes was about to force Danae into marriage.  Outraged, Perseus held up medusa’s head, the king looked at it and was turned to stone.

 One day, Perseus took part in some important games.  As he threw a discuss it was caught in the wind and accidently killed an old man.  This proved to be Arisius, his own grandfather, whom he had not seen since birth.  The tragedy and been foretold by an Oracle and was unavoidable.
