Explanation:
Theme of Courage in Perseus and Medusa. Like pretty much every great hero, Perseus is incredibly brave. No matter how dangerous the monsters in his path, Perseus boldly marches forward. He is unstoppable – Gorgons, sea monsters, wicked kings – nothing can intimidate our noble hero.
Because the gaze of Medusa turned all who looked at her to stone, Perseus guided himself by her reflection in a shield given him by Athena and beheaded Medusa as she slept. He then returned to Seriphus and rescued his mother by turning Polydectes and his supporters to stone at the sight of Medusa's head.
While the nymphs gave him shoes with wings, a hat that made him invisible, and a sack to carry the head of Medusa. ... He used the eye to blackmail them into telling him where Medusa's hiding place was located. Climax. When Perseus arrived at Medusa's cave, Medusa and her sisters were all sleeping.
