Hero's Journey in Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier

The most famous story from the hero Perseus would be the quarrel with the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus the son of Zeus and Danaë, was tricked into promising to obtain the head of the only mortal Gorgon Medusa. After acquiring various items including a shield - given to him by Athena - and curved sword he beheaded the Gorgon in her sleep using the reflection of his shield to view her without becoming petrified. Perseus then returned to Seriphus and turned his trickster Polydectes along with his supporters to stone. After, he left for the funeral games where he threw a discus and it hit an elderly man named Acrisius which killed him fulfilling Perseus' prophesy. Perseus then consequently left Argos and was then credited

Perseus is the son of Zues but he was raised by mortals. He wanted to help his mortal mother because of his strong sense of family values. This lead him to show his bravery on an adventure. While on this journey he was trusted by Polydectes who had promised Perseus Andromedas hand in marrage.

Perseus was the son of Danae and Zeus. Danae 's father was King Acrisius of Argos. And years before Perseus ' birth, he was foretold a prophecy which stated his death would come at the hands of Danae 's first born son.(4) So he locked her into a solid bronze tower, Zeus came to visit her in the form of a golden shower. After she realized, she was pregnant. She was able to hide the pregnancy from her father until the birth of Perseus.(4) Fearing the gods, Acrisius did not want to kill them because of the chance of him being cursed.(2) So he locked them into a chest, sent them into the sea.(3) "Either by luck or the will of Zeus,"(2) they landed ashore at the island of Seriphos.(4) Where a humble, old fisherman named Dictys found them.(4) Dictys took Danae and Perseus in as one of his own.(2) Many years later, the king of Seriphos, King Polydectes, or Dictys ' brother,(2) fell in love with Danae.(4) She was not in love with him although, and said no when Polydectes asked for her hand in marriage. Any advances towards her were stopped by Perseus.(4) To try to relieve himself from the embarrassment of Perseus, he told Perseus to go and

In Greek mythology, heroes play a massive part in the theatrical and almost unrealistic aspects in most stories. Although all heroes have amazing and unique backgrounds to themselves, they all share common characteristics in their sometimes intertwining stories with each other. The amazing and outstanding Greek hero Perseus defies all odds against a monster whom no one was ever able to conquer. He who is also a son of the almighty god Zeus receives help from two other gods in order to accomplish his quest. Perseus represents bravery and justice throughout his exciting story although he receives help due to his lack of outside knowledge.

In day to day life, society is being constantly bombarded by tales of modern “heroes”--firefighters who rescue a stray cat from a burning building, or ordinary-looking teens who save a baby from a neglected car on a summer’s day. What does it take to be a hero, or more specifically, what do these “heroes” have in common? To answer this, we must look back to the very first heroic figures who still influence our culture and media today. Perseus, among these, is a classic underdog story. Growing up in shambles and poverty, discovering his unique, godly lineage, and facing indescribable obstacles while passing through foreign lands gives him a unique and memorable edge. Similar to most heroes, he chooses what is right over what is easy. Perseus exemplifies a hero in the way that he shows bravery in the face of danger, demonstrates resourcefulness in difficult situations, and makes the ultimate use of his moral compass.

Myths are beautiful stories written to explain the unexplainable, originating from the early people of the world to the present day still just as entranced by them. The Myth of Perseus is no exception. The myth has a plethora of morals and lessons, the greatest being that of destiny and courage.

Perseus fits the model of a Greek hero, as he was the son of the god Zeus and the mortal, Danae. King Acrisius, Danae’s father, was warned by the oracle of Apollo that the son of Danae would kill him, so he locked Danae in a tower, where Zeus eventually visited her in a shower of gold, which is how Perseus was conceived. This fits the criteria of unusual conception of a Greek hero. Additionally, Perseus took up the seemingly impossible challenge set by Polydectes, to slay the only mortal Gorgon, Medusa. This was because Polydectes invited him and his mother to a fake wedding, and since they did not bring a gift, Polydectes demanded the head of Medusa. Although this challenge was a command, Perseus was not obliged to take it, as no other mortal

Greek Mythology is known as plain myths and tales nowadays, but they were once beliefs of how the world worked. For example, the literal “golden child” of Zeus; Perseus. As you continue to read and follow along, you will be introduced to who Perseus exactly is. And why he has such an importance in the study of Greek Mythology.

So again a hero does not necessarily need to go looking for danger or for a quest. Instead the quest or danger may come to them when the time is right. So in the beginning perseus felt bad about not getting the king a gift and said that he will go kill medusa and bring back her head. Then set out on the quest ahead of him with the help of athena and hermes. After that athena help kill medusa and perseus grab the head and was on his way back to the island he heard what had happened. In the end perseus pulled out the head and turned the king to

Before they left, Hermes told Perseus to find the Graeae and convince them to tell him where the Nymphs of the North are located. Perseus went to the Graeae cave and stole their eye, which they had to share with one another. Since Perseus threatened to destroy the eye if the Graeae did not tell him where to find the Nymphs of the North, they told him where to go. Perseus gave the eye back and flew, using the winged sandals, to where the Nymphs of the North were located. They gave Perseus the Cap of Darkness, which, “has the power to make its wearer invisible,” (Albright 2) and a magic wallet to keep Medusa’s head in. After learning where the gorgons’ lair was, Perseus flew north to the lair, put the Cap of Darkness on, and killed Medusa when she and her sisters were sleeping. He used the shield to see her reflection and the sickle to cut off her head. After putting the head in the magic wallet, Perseus flew away as soon as the other gorgons woke. On his way back to Seriphus, one adventure Perseus had was saving Andromeda, the daughter of King Cepheus of Phoenicia, from a sea monster. Perseus used Medusa’s head to turn the monster to stone. After cutting Andromeda loose, he returned with her to the king and got married to her. After competing in some games at Larisa, Perseus threw a discus which happened to hit an old man in the stands-Acrisius, which lead to the prophecy coming true. After arriving at Seriphus, Dictys told Perseus how

Persephone explains the events to Hades. Hades also starts to get angry because Thomas could not get in the way of him and Persephone. He had to be punished. Solutions shuffled through his head, and decided he must talk to zeus. His decision was made.

“Then Hades’ chariot plunged toward earth and, though terrified, Persephone hoped death might release her from her kidnapper.”

In the movie, Clash of the Titans, Perseus kills Medusa and takes her head, defeats the Kraken, saves Argos and Princess Andromeda, and lives the rest of his life as a common man. The Greek myth of the Clash of the Titans has a different plot, where Perseus kills Medusa and takes her head, saves Princess Andromeda and marries her, saves Argos and his mother from his Uncle, and becomes the king of Argos. There are many differences and similarities between the movie version of the Clash of the Titans and the Greek myth version.

A fisherman named Spyros finds a coffin adrift in the sea, discovering a baby, Perseus, and his mother, Danaë. Spyros and his wife, Marmara, raise Perseus as their own son, alongside their daughter, Tekla. One day, as an adult Perseus and his family watch soldiers from the city of Argos destroying the statue of Zeus. Infuriated at this, the Gods unleash the Furies who attack the soldiers and destroy the family's fishing vessel, resulting in Perseus' family drowning. Only Perseus survives and is found by a group of the soldiers.

These three characters from Heroes, Gods, and Monsters of the Greek Myths are able to fight these monsters and other mythological creatures because of their bravery. In the book, it said that “Perseus grew up to be a strong; fearless
