• An oracle (神谕) told the king that his own grandson would someday kill hiБайду номын сангаас.
• To prevent this, Acrisius kept her in a bronze tower, so that no man might approach her and that she would have no children.
• And a moment only -- then Atlas' smile froze, and the giant's great bulk, slowly solidifying, was transformed to rough and craggy stone and then an immense mountain appeared with its top lost in the rolling clouds.
• Perseus took their eye and tooth and refused to return them and forced them to tell him where to find Medusa.
• Then, Athena lent him a shield that had a smooth surface and could be used as a mirror so that he didn't have to look directly at Medusa; Hermes lent him wings for his shoes and a sword that could never be bent or broken; and Hades lent him a helmet (头 盔) that would make him invisible.
• Perseus had taken off his magic helmet, so Atlas saw him afar off, and was glad.
• "But oh, great Perseus, if ever you felt pity for grief, take pity on me now, who am condemned to support the sky for all eternity, unless you will bring an end to my sufferings! Show me the face of Medusa, and let me be changed into stone!"

Perseus (珀耳修斯)
• However, they did not drown. Instead, blessed by Zeus, they drifted to the island of Seriphos (赛里福斯岛) and were rescued by Dictys, brother of King of Seriphos and Perseus grew up in his home. Later, Polydectes, the king, fell in love with Danae, but his love was not returned. Perseus was now a young man, and Polydectes, fearing that Perseus might interfere with his plan to marry Danae, sent him to fetch the head of Medusa (美杜莎), who was a snake-haired monster and whose head was so horrible that anyone who looked at it was turned to stone. In this way, Polydectes hoped that Perseus would be destroyed, but the gods favored the young man. Perseus: 英仙座
