The Tale Of Perseus And The Hero's Journey

King Acrisius of Argos had only one child, a daughter named Danae. She was a beautiful girl, but the King was sad because he did not have a son. He went to Delphi to ask the oracle if he might ever have a son. The priestess told him that he would never have a son; furthermore, she said that his daughter would bear a son who would eventually kill him.

In contrast the Roman myth of Andromeda and Perseus is quite different. Again the main character of Perseus follows Hourihan’s definition of the hero. The myth describes how he and his mother travelled to Serifo meeting King Polydectes. King Polydectes challenges Perseus to kill Medusa, this represents the series of obstacles. Medusa has the ability to turn people to stone making her the main obstacle and villian for Perseus. After this battle Perseus then meets Andromeda (heroine) chained to rock. Andromeda is waiting for Cetus a sea monster to come kill her as a sacrifice to appease the god Poseidon. Perseus turns Cetus to stone with Medusa’s head which demonstrates character

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.

I was the fairest maiden on all the land. However, somehow I was turned into this hideous monster. Although I do not remember how this occurred, I want to find out how this happened to me. Every day I would walk out of my lair to have a breeze of fresh air. There was no one around, and not a city in sight for the next 20 miles. I was alone with the other gorgons for the rest of my time on this planet.

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

Perseus was a great god before Heracles. Perseus was a hero to a small village called Mycenae and founder of Perseid dynasty. The Greeks wordship him because he helped kill medusa and kill a sea monster to save his future wife. He is important for killing medusa and saving the people from that snake haired demon. He is also the son of Zeus god of the sky.Perseus was the son of a god named Zeus and a mortal woman named Danae. Before Perseus was born his grandfather king Crisius was for told that his soon to be grandson was supposed to kill him. So, the king put his daughter into the Dugan and she gave birth to Perseus there. When Perseus was born, the king threw the infant and his mother in a wooden chest and left at sea. A fisher man had rescued

Perseus grew up on an island, because before he was born, his mother’s father, Acrisius, fought his brother for the throne of Argos, when he won he forced his brother into exile. Acrisius had no male heir, but he had a daughter named Danae. Acrisius wanting a son from his daughter went to an oracle and was told a prophecy, that his daughters son will kill him, so Acrisius, fearing for his life, imprisoned his daughter in one of the towers, but then Zeus came down in the form of a gold shower, and fell onto her. Then Danae gave birth and named the child Perseus, so Acrisius placed Perseus and his mother in a wooden chest and threw them in a river, Zeus sent winds and blew them to an island where a poor fisherman, called Dictys, fished them out, and Perseus ended up having a happy childhood.

Are you familiar with the Greek myth of Persephone? The myth has a lot in common with spring. It starts with the Greek god Persephone being kidnapped by Hades, the king of the underworld. He saw her and couldn’t resist himself. Hades took Persephone to the underworld. He asked her to marry him, but she refused. He then asked her if she was hungry and offered her a pomegranate, and she caved into temptation; the hunger gnawing at her stomach. When she ate the pomegranate, she didn’t want to go back to the overworld and married Hades, becoming the queen of the underworld. Demeter, persephone’s mother and the god of harvest was very enraged.

Persephone just lied down in the big black bed. She didn't move except for the slight rhythmic up and down as she breathed. She wasn't sleeping. Just staring solemnly at the tall gray sealing above her. She looks even more glum than I do. Even with all the wealth and sparkling gems around her, she only lay there staring at the dark sealing. That mom, Ceres, of hers must have been very good to her. My Mother was Rhea wife of Cronus and I didn't know her much on the count of Cronus eating me soon after I was born.

This passage forms the exposition for Perseus’ rescue and subsequent marriage of Andromeda. Beginning abruptly, it moves from the immense metamorphoses of Atlas to the topos of a defenceless maiden. Indeed, it seems to me that the scene is immediately reminiscent of Iacchus’ flight to Ariadne in Catullus 64 (250-265). Here, the encounter both results in their marriage (as described by Ovid himself in the Ars Amatoria [1.527-64]) and builds towards the wedding ceremony of Peleus and Thetis within the wider narrative. In the same way, Ovid’s almost ekphrastic portrayal of Andromeda as marmoreum…opus (675) might to appeal to the knowledge of the implied reader - making the function of this encounter is quite clear.
