Perseus

The two Clash of the Titans movies in 1981 and 2010 look to embody the myth of Perseus, and resonate with modern culture.

Perseus the Hero vs. Clash of the Titans In the movie, Clash of the Titans, Perseus must defeat Medusa and the Kraken to save the city, which is so different from the actual story. This made it difficult to follow. It was an amazing movie, but I wish it were more like the original myth. Although they had many differences, there were also some similarities. One example is how Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae, making him a demigod. Another similarity is how Zeus saved Andromeda from the sea

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

Perseus is about to rescue Andromeda from the Ketos, from a very scary snaky green creature. The creature wants to kill her because of Cassiopeia’s boasted. “ She was more beautiful than the daughters of Nereus.”(153) Which Cassiopeia did not like that she was more beautiful than the daughters.
