Perseus the story questions plz help?
By viewing Medusa's reflection in his shield he could safely approach and cut off her head.





Athena gave him a highly-polished bronze shield. Perseus cannot kill Medusa without the shield


Hermes gave him winged sandels to fly. Perseus cannot get to the island of the golden apples to the west and accomplish his mission without the sandals. He went there like a swift walker on the air.
Reply:1) Perseus was the son of Zeus, Zeus ordered Athena and all the other Gods to help him.


2) Perseus killed Medusa by using the reflection in his shield to look at her as a reflection of her would not turn him to stone.


3) He would have died very quickly!
Reply:see the movie "clash of the Titans" it is a close version of what took place according to the stories told about Perseus!
