| The beautiful princess Medusa had many admirers. |
 |
| The Goddess Athena was not one of them. |
 |
| Athena decided to teach Medusa a lesson. |
 |
| And so Athena cursed Medusa. Medusa's hair turned into snakes. |
 |
| And her face became so horrible, it turned anyone who saw it to stone. |
 |
| "Hey Joe, did you hear what happened to Medusa?" |
 |
| "Oh no, there she is!" |
 |
| Like Dylan says, everybody must get stoned. |
 |
| This really interfered with poor Medusa's dating life. |
 |
| The King could not bear to kill his daughter. Directly. So he put her on a boat. Cue Gilligan's Island theme. |
 |
| They arrived in the land of King Polydectes. |
 |
| Polydectes totally crushed on Danae. |
 |
| But she said, "sorry, I have to care for my kid." |
 |
| Heartbroken Polydectes came up with a diabolical plan. |
 |
| "Hey Perseus, here's a sword. You know what would be awesome? If you went to fight Medusa." |
 |
| King Acrisius of Argos had a beautiful daughter named Danae. |
 |
| Unfortunately the Oracle had a dire prediction. |
 |
| "One day your grandson will kill you." |
 |
| "Oh yeah? Well what if I keep Danae locked in a tower forever? I won't *have* any grandkids now!" |
 |
| But Zeus had other ideas. He arrived in a shower of light . . . |
 |
| . . . and totally hooked up with Danae. |
 |
| And she gave birth to a son named Perseus |
