Description

Excerpt from The Heroes: Or Greek Fairy Tales, for My Children Charles Kingsley has told anew in brilliant and glowing English the old Greek legends of demi gods and heroes. This story relates how the infant Perseus and his mother, the queen, became waits; how, when Perseus had grown to be a stalwart youth, the goddess Pallas Athene revealed to him his royal birth, and bade him seek and destroy the gorgon Medusa, the sight of whom turned all to stone; how he overcame the monster and took her head; how he rescued the Princess Andromeda, chained to a rock in the sea to become the prey of a sea dragon; and how he came to the court and turned to stone the tyrant king and all his retinue, by exposing to their gaze the snake fringed gorgon's head, whereby Theseus and Danae, his mother, came again to their own.
