Talking About "Perseus and Medusa"
Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, guess what story I read last night? It was about this cool hero named Perseus!
Jaeyi: Oh yeah? I think I saw a picture of him once. Did he fight a monster?
Jaegyum: He totally did! He had to chop off the head of this lady named Medusa, who had snakes for hair and could turn people into stone just by looking at them! This website I found, study53.tistory.com/123, had a really neat summary of it.
Jaeyi: Whoa, snakes for hair? That sounds super creepy! How did Perseus manage to look at her without turning into a statue?
Jaegyum: That's the clever part! Athena, the goddess of wisdom, gave him a shiny shield. He looked at Medusa's reflection in the shield while he chopped off her head. Pretty smart, huh?
Jaeyi: Wow, that is smart! So he didn't even have to look directly at her. Did he have any other cool stuff to help him?
Jaegyum: Yeah! Hermes, the messenger god, lent him winged sandals so he could fly. And he also got a special bag to put Medusa's head in, so its power wouldn't hurt anyone.
Jaeyi: Flying sandals? That sounds awesome! What did he do with Medusa's head after?
Jaegyum: Well, the story says he used it to defeat a sea monster that was going to eat a princess named Andromeda. One look from Medusa's head, and the monster turned into stone!
Jaeyi: So Medusa's head was still powerful even after it was cut off? That's kind of scary but also cool. Perseus sounds like a really brave hero!
Jaegyum: He really was! He faced a super dangerous monster and used his wits and the gods' gifts to win. It makes for a great story, you should check out that link I sent you sometime!
