Perseus, Medusa, and The Prophecy

Have you heard the story of Perseus? Perseus was good natured, and friendly. He even became a hero of Greek Mythology. This is a real myth. I have altered it a LOT.

In the land of Argos, a boy named Perseus (Let's call him Perse) was born. Now Perse, according to a prophecy, was going to be the reason the king would die. So he ordered that Perse would be executed 10 days after he was born.
However, a man named Polyompes rescued Perse. Polyompes took Perse to his home in Crete...

APPROXIMATELY 17 YEARS LATER...

Now Perse's stepmother was evil. She asked Perse to kill Medusa, a fearful Gorgon.
In case you do not know, Medusa had insulted a very important person. Her name was Athena, and so Athena changed her into a hideous monster with snakes for hair and a glare that turned anyone who looked directly in her eyes into a stone statue.
Perseus was forced to kill Medusa, and he didn't like it. But he did it anyways.
Now Perse lopped off Medusa's head with one blow of his axe.
He took the head to his stepmother. She accidently turned into a stone statue by looking at Medusa's head. Perse had been blamed for he accident, and so Polyompes tried to kill him.
But Perse escaped, and he went back to Argos. There Perse gave the king his sword. But Perse handed the sword over to the king the wrong way so that he accidentally stabbed the king. Perseus had fulfilled the prophecy.
Perse buried the king and went back to his mother and father. THE END.

Sad story, huh? Have a nice day!
