Answer:

There once was a beautiful maiden named Medusa and she had started a problem with Athena and Athena cursed her. She has been terrorizing sailors and people with the fact that no one could look to her in the eyes or they would turn to stone. Perseus wanted to defeat Medusa and bring the peace back to the people so he was getting prepared to fight against Medusa. When the Gods realized what Perseus was doing they decided to help him during the battle. Athena gave him a shield that would protect Perseus from Medusa’s eyes, Hermes gave him his winged shoes so that he sneak up to Medusa without causing any sound and lastly, Hades gave him a magic helmet that would make him invisible every time he put it on. Perseus sneaked into the temple and saw how Medusa slithered across the room, he waited until she fell asleep to kill her. He put on Hermes’s shoes and was flying quietly until he came over to Medusa, however Medusa sensed him and woke up! She tried looking to the eyes of Perseus but he had quickly taken out Athena’s shield and he was protected, Medusa tried to attacking him but Perseus put on Hades magic helmet, Medusa couldn’t see him anymore and therefore Perseus took out his sword and sliced Medusa’s head off. Medusa was now dead and peace had been restored across the land.

I hope this helps you :)

Answer:

Perseus sneaks up to Medusa, the only Gorgon who is mortal. He raises his sword, taking aim by looking at the monster through the reflection in his shield, and chops off Medusa's head. As Medusa's head flies from her body, Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chysaor, a giant with a golden sword, jump out of her neck.

Hope this helps :)
