Greek Mythology: Perseus
Storyboard Text
- You shall take this polished shield, and when you come near her look not at her yourself, but her image in the brass.
- These scandals of mine will bear you across the seas, and over hill and dale like a bird, like they bear me all day long.
- Perseus gets gifts from the gods, Athena and Hermes, to kill Medusa.
- He threatens the grey sisters to show him the way to Medusa but instead they tell him to go to the nymphs of the north and ask them.
- Cruel and proud old women, I have your eye; and I will throw it into the sea, unless you tell me the path to the gorgon.
- You must go, foolish boy, to the southward, into the ugly glare of the sun till you come to Atlas the Giant, who holds heaven and earth apart.
- He receives answers from the Nymphs and goes to Giant Atlas to get permission.
- It's better to die a hero than to live like an ox in a stall. The Immortals have given me weapons, and they will give me wit to use them.
- We know the way to the Gorgon; but we will ask the Giant Atlas above the mountain peak.
- Perseus receives permission and promises to let Atlas see Medusa even if he dies.
- When you come back with the head of Medusa, you shall show me the beautiful horror, that I may loose my feeling and breathing, and become stone forever; for it is weary labor for me to hold the heavens and earth apart.
- He finds Medusa sleeping and kills her with the supplies that the immortals gifted him.
- Then Medusa's sisters chased Perseus until he could not see them anymore.
