Perseus large plaque
Special Edition
The mythological hero
Perseus is know in
mythology for having
slain Medusa. The
story goes that the gods
Hermes and Athena
helped him in the
mission. They led him
to the Graeae, three
perpetually old women
with one eye and tooth
between them and
sisters of the gorgons.
Perseus took the eye
and would not return it
until they had given him
directions. He also
received winged
sandals, a magic
wallet, the cap of Hades
that made one invisible,
an adamantine sickle,
and a mirrored shield.
With all this he came
upon the sleeping
gorgons. By viewing
Medusa's reflection in
his shield he could
safely approach and cut
off her head. The other
two gorgons pursued
him, but he became
invisible and escaped
after which gave
Medusa's head as a gift
to Athena.
