This may be wrong because I haven't heard this story in a while, I've forgotten the names so I could be referring to a different version of Perseus's story

Answer:

King Minos tested Perseus's claim to be a demigod by tasking him with the retrieval of Medusa's head. While this seemed like an impossible task, Perseus was granted Athena's shield which had such a shine to it that it was almost a mirror(and another gift from the god, I believe it was Hermes's boots but am not sure). As Perseus arrived at the Temple of Medusa, the gorgon heard him and attempted to sneak up on Perseus. While she was extremely quiet, Perseus spotted her reflection in Athena's shield and cut off Medusa's head. He brought the head back to King Minos to prove himself.

kherson [118]

In "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, the narrator compares the wait for her father to come home to "the same silence as before a storm" because:

The silence before a storm is broken by awful thunders and heavy rain. Similarly, the silence in her home as she, her mother, and her grandmother waited for her father to return could be broken by awful news.

  • "Persepolis" is a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi based on her life experiences as child in Iran during the revolution.
  • In the story, the narrator is also just a child. Her father has left home to take pictures of the demonstrators out in the streets.
  • Taking photos was forbidden, and her father had been arrested before.
  • The family was now afraid something worse might happen to him.
  • They waited for him in complete silence. The narrator compares that situation to the silence before a storm.
  • It is that calm moment before something terrible happens.
  • With the storm, it is the heavy rain and the thunders. With the family, it could be the bad news of the father's death.
