Perseus, a hero of Greek mythology, is sent on a dangerous quest to slay Medusa, the Gorgon whose gaze turns people to stone. With the help of the gods, he uses a mirrored shield to avoid looking at her directly and successfully beheads her. From her blood are born Pegasus and Chrysaor, and Perseus later uses her head as a powerful weapon before offering it to Athena.
