Long ago, Polydectes was king of Seriphos, in a land called Greece Long ago, Polydectes was king of Seriphos, in a land called Greece. A mother and son, called Danae and Perseus, lived in the palace. The King wanted to marry Danae, but she kept refusing him. Eventually he sent his guards to get her.

Perseus, the son, was strong and feared nothing Perseus, the son, was strong and feared nothing. He fought the guards and defended his mother. The King wanted to get rid of Perseus, so he sent him on a dangerous mission, hoping that he would never return! Perseus had to go and fetch the head of the Gorgons, Medusa.

Medusa was one of three monstrous sisters Medusa was one of three monstrous sisters. They could turn men to stone just by looking at them.

Perseus had a long and difficult journey to find the Gorgons Perseus had a long and difficult journey to find the Gorgons. The gods gave him two things to help him: a shiny shield and a sickle to cut off Medusa’s head. He found the Three Grey Sisters and tricked them into telling him where to find Medusa. They sent him to the Ocean Nymphs.

The Nymphs hated Medusa and agreed to help The Nymphs hated Medusa and agreed to help. They gave him winged sandals so that he could fly to the right place, and a helmet to make him invisible.

Perseus reached the land where the Gorgons lived Perseus reached the land where the Gorgons lived. He heard their terrible snoring and the snakes on their heads hissing loudly. He looked in the shield to see their reflection. Then he cut off Medusa’s head.

The other Gorgons woke up, but Perseus put on the helmet and flew away.

It was a long and difficult journey. Eventually Perseus got back to Seriphos. He went to King Polydectes and showed him the Gorgon’s head. The King was turned to stone. Perseus and his mother were safe at last!
