Even though the quest assigned seems impossible, Perseus sets out to get the job done.  Perseus and his mother, Danae, live on the island of Seriphus with a fisherman named Diktys. Diktys' brother, Polydectes, is the king of island, and he totally has a thing for Danae.Polydectes is worried that Perseus will come between him and Danae. To get Perseus out of the way, Polydectes comes up with a plan to get rid of Perseus.He gathers a bunch of his friends (Perseus included) and claims that he's collecting presents to win the hand of a lovely lady named Hippodameia (even though the king really has his eye on Danae). Polydectes asks each man to give him some horses.Perseus doesn't have a horse to give, but he brags that he will bring Polydectes anything else he wants."Oh really?" says Polydectes. "Great, bring me the head of a Gorgon."At this point, Perseus probably pees in his pants a little bit because he's scared shitless. The Gorgons are three monstrous sisters with snakes for hair, bronze hands, wings, and tusks. They're so hideous that anyone who looks at them turns to stone. It seems like Polydectes is sending Perseus on a suicide mission.With the help of the gods Athena and Hermes, Perseus locates the Graeae, three nasty old hag sisters who share one eye and one tooth between them. Perseus steals the eye and the tooth from Graeae.Our noble hero won't let the old ladies have their precious eye and tooth back until they tell him the location of the Nymphai, three nymphs who have some of the gods' treasures in their safekeeping.The hags do as Perseus asks, and he gives them back their body parts.Following the Graeae's directions, Perseus finds the Nymphai, who let him borrow several awesome items:the wing sandals of Hermes, which allow him to fly; Hades' helmet of invisibility, which makes him invisible; and the kibisis, a knapsack tough enough to hold the toxic head of a Gorgon.Perseus puts on all his new toys and flies off to face the Gorgons.Along the way he runs into the goddess Athena, who advises him to only look at the Gorgons through the reflection of his shiny bronze shield, otherwise he'll be turned to stone.Eventually, Perseus reaches the seaside cave of the three Gorgon sisters, whose names are Stheno, Euryale, and… Medusa.Luckily for Perseus, the Gorgons are asleep when he gets there.Perseus sneaks up to Medusa, the only Gorgon who is mortal. He raises his sword, taking aim by looking at the monster through the reflection in his shield, and chops off Medusa's head.As Medusa's head flies from her body, Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chysaor, a giant with a golden sword, jump out of her neck.Perseus plops Medusa's head in the kibisis and starts make his getaway.At this point Medusa's sisters, Stheno and Euryale, wake up, and they are not happy. They chase after Perseus.The hero puts on Hades' helmet of invisibility and escapes the crazy snake ladies.Perseus then flies away with Medusa's head packed in the kibisis.On the way back to the island of Seriphus, Perseus runs into Atlas, the Titan doomed by Zeus to hold up the sky forever.The hero and the Titan get into a fight, because Atlas refuses to offer Perseus shelter.Hotheaded Perseus ends the argument by whipping out Medusa's head and turning Atlas into stone.Perseus gets into more shenanigans, on the way back. When he flies over Egypt, some of the Gorgon's toxic blood drips into the desert sand, creating a breed of really poisonous snakes.When Perseus is flying over Africa, he notices the beautiful maiden, Princess Andromeda, tied to a rock by the sea. He ends up rescuing her from a sea monster and making her his wife. hen Perseus finally makes it back home to Seriphus, he finds out that his mother is hiding out in a temple trying to avoid the lusty king Polydectes. Perseus marches over to Polydectes' palace, where he finds the king hanging out with some friends.Polydectes is all, "Hey, what are you doing here? Where's Medusa's head?"Perseus says, "Here it is, jerk," and he turns his face away and reveals Medusa's severed head.Polydectes and his buddies are all turned to stone. Perseus' mom is now safe.After this, Perseus returns all his godly artifacts – winged sandals, kibisis, helmet of invisibility – to the Nymphai.As a token of thanks, Perseus gives Medusa's head to Athena, who places it on the front of her shield. ]]> 2019-01-09 17:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_julene17/589rhus8azak/wish/318901822 Ask Hera Through out history mankind have a reputation to cheat and be disloyal to ones spouse. They think that its okay to do regrettable things and apologize after, they think that because they want to loosen up that it's okay to sleep with another person. Mankind also think that although they keep fighting every day and not communicating, that eventually even though they're doing nothing to fix it, that it'll fix itself. Issues don't resolve themselves, they need to be addressed in order to be deciphered. Woman also have issue that need to be addressed. Women nowadays pamela_orozcouribe https://padlet.com/alyssa_julene17/589rhus8azak/wish/319542681 get cheated on and because they don't want to lose their spouse, they put it past them and pretend that it never happened. they think that if you speak up for yourself, that there's gonna be consequences for their actions, but that's no way to live their life. Women should live their life free of worries and free of being scared that if their husband goes out, that they know that he's bound to cheat again. Women need to stand up for what They believe is right.]]> 2019-01-11 03:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_julene17/589rhus8azak/wish/319542681 Medusa's Obituary Notice alyssa_julene17 https://padlet.com/alyssa_julene17/589rhus8azak/wish/319544831 Her parents were Phorcys and Ceto. The three Gorgon sisters—Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale—were children of the ancient marine deities Phorcys and his sister Ceto, chthonic monsters from an archaic world.  
In most versions of the story, she was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who was sent to fetch her head by King Polydectes of Seriphos as a gift. With help from Athena and Hermes who supplied him with winged sandals, Hades' cap of invisibility, a sword, and a mirrored shield, he accomplished his quest.
In Greek mythology Medusa (was a Gorgon, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys).
Medusa, originally a beautiful young woman whose crowning glory was her magnificent long hair, was desired and courted by many suitors. Yet before she could be betrothed to a husband, Poseidon found her worshipping in the temple of Athena and ravished her. Athena was outraged at her sacred temple being violated, and punished Medusa by turning her beautiful tresses into snakes and giving her the destructive power to turn anyone who looked directly at her into stone.
