Could a monster whose very look turns men to stone be a challenge too perilous even for the son of Zeus? King Polydectes has designs on Perseus' mother, Danaë. But first the king must get rid of young Perseus once and for all. So Polydectes hatches a plan to trick the young hero into performing an impossible task—slay the snake-haired Gorgon monster Medusa, whose very look turns men to stone. Yet, as the son of Zeus, king of the gods, Perseus has many powerful allies. Will Perseus' strength and courage—and the favor of the gods—allow him to do the impossible?

Perseus: The Hunt for Medusa's Head: A Greek Myth
This book was about Perseus and his hunt for Medusa's head. Perseus is Zeus' son. Perseus meets up with Athena, and she has decided to help him on his quest. He is given five magical items from the gods to help him on his quest. The story then backtracks, to how this all started. It goes back to when King Acrisius of Argos learns from an oracle that he is destined to die by his grandson (Perseus). He locks his daughter away in a tower and only lets female maids in the room with her. Eventually, Zeus sees her sorrow and Perseus is born. After learning of the birth, and not willing to anger Zeus, King Acrisius puts Perseus and his mother in a coffin and sends them afloat into the sea. Zeus learns this, and asks Poseidon to guide his son to safety. Eventually, they are taken in by King Polydectes, who wants to marry Perseus' mother. Perseus doesn't want this to happen. Polydectes tricks Perseus into going on a quest for Medusa's head. Read this book to find out how his dangerous quest goes.
The illustrations of this book are in color. There are panels. The artwork tells part of the story. The text is in narrative and conversational form.
This book, although it is a Greek myth, is still historical. The ancient Greeks truly believed in the stories of the gods and the heroes that were born to them. Perseus is an actual hero in Greek Mythology. Ancient people would have recognized him. He really went on the quest, to defeat both Medusa and stop Polydectes from marrying his mother. Perseus represents someone who doesn't give up. This book is true to the ancient myth, and therefore historical.
