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!

The Labyrinth

In the last post, you got to know a little bit about me. Now you will hear a story.

Once upon a time, there was a labyrinth constructed by king of the sea, known as Aduelas. This king had a golden trident at the center of the labyrinth. A dragon guarded the labyrinth. And for extra protection, the walls moved as they wished.
Now, the king of the sea was evil. So a hero had to return to the trident back to the king of the sky, whom had given it to Aduelas.
I was chosen to return the trident. I swam to the depths of the underwater world. Down there, I finally came across the kingdom of Aduelas.
I entered the labyrinth. The walls tried to crush me, but I managed to get through. Soon enough, I was back where I started.
Then I tried again.
No matter how many times I tried, I returned back to the spot where I was before.
However, the fifth time I tried, I saw a tree. On the tree was a riddle.

I am love's helper,
I carry wishes upon my back
My name does not matter,
What am I?

Love is God, but who was his helper? Wishes? That must mean a prayer. A scripture with an angel in it did say that her name didn't matter-
An angel.
"An angel?" I said. Suddenly, roots in the tree opened up. I boldly walked into the roots.
I walked out in the center of the labyrinth. It was A SECRET PASSAGEWAY!
I took the trident, but the dragon saw me. He opened his eyes and chased me mournfully.
Wait. Mournfully?
He was trying to tell me something. I pointed the trident at the dragon and it turned into a beautiful young girl. She said that Aduelas condemned her to take the form of a dragon and to guard the trident.
I took her to the king of the sky, gave him the trident, and we all lived happily ever after.

This short tale is based on Ariadne's thread. Happy lives to all of you!

Anne and Joseph

This is a playwright that I made up that you can act out yourselves! This story takes plays in the 1600's so put on costumes! Oh and ENJOY!

Joseph: I love thine. I wanted thee to be mine, for in the world you are most fine, but you did not love me back.
Anne: I am in love with you John, for your song draws love from afar.
John: I love you too, for you truly bring all the birds that sing together to hear your love and laments.
Joseph: Thee is great, but who wins thy heart?
Anne: The king shall decide whom is best for me to fall in love with.
(A castle comes into the scene. The king is seated on a throne. John and Joseph start arguing)
King: Why, you argue like the animals that bicker in the forest. Cut Anne in half, each of you shall have her.
Joseph: No! Anne, give your heart to John, for my heart is torn apart by grief.
King: Then you shall take her hand and stand by each other in life, Joseph and Anne, for you love her so much you would rather her love someone else than for her to die.
(Curtains close)

This is the first time I actually posted to my blog two times in one day! I hope you really enjoy acting this out!
