Perseus (hero)

Perseus is a Greek mythological hero known for his bravery and cleverness. He famously defeated the monstrous Gorgon Medusa, whose gaze turned people to stone, by using a polished shield as a mirror to avoid looking directly at her. With the help of divine gifts from gods like Athena and Hermes, he also rescued Andromeda from a sea monster. Perseus’s adventures symbolize ingenuity and courage, and he is celebrated for completing seemingly impossible tasks, solidifying his place as one of Greece’s most legendary heroes.
