Dedesi Akrisios\u2019un zulm\u00fcnden Zeus\u2019un yard\u0131m\u0131yla ka\u00e7may\u0131 ba\u015faran Perseus ve annesi Danae , Seriphos Kral\u0131 Polydektes\u2019in yan\u0131na s\u0131\u011f\u0131nd\u0131. Genc ve kudreti dillere destan Perseus k\u0131sa zamanda Kral\u0131n \u00f6z o\u011flu gibi olurken, annesi Danae de Polydektes\u2019in akl\u0131n\u0131 ba\u015f\u0131ndan alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131 ve Kral O\u2019nunla evlenmek istiyordu.
Ancak Polydektes , Perseus\u2019un gen\u00e7li\u011finin verdi\u011fi tez kanl\u0131l\u0131kla bir aksilik yapaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyor ve o\u011flu Perseus\u2019u ortadan kald\u0131rmak istiyordu.\u00a0
Aradan epey bir zaman ge\u00e7ti. Kral memleketinin en tan\u0131nm\u0131\u015f ve g\u00fczel k\u0131zlar\u0131ndan Hippodameia ile evlenece\u011fi haberini etrafa yayd\u0131. Ve adete g\u00f6re \u015fenlikler s\u0131ras\u0131nda herkes Krala hediye vermek durumundayd\u0131. Perseus , Kral\u2019\u0131n hediye olarak ne istedi\u011fini sordu. Kral atlardan ho\u015fland\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 s\u00f6yledi. Perseus daha \u015ferefli bir hediye sunmak istedi\u011fini ve O\u2019na Medusa\u2019n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 getirebilece\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Kral ilk anda bu teklifi yan\u0131ts\u0131z b\u0131rak\u0131nca Perseus da her kes gibi hediye olarak bir at getirdi. Ancak Kral bu hediyeyi kabul etmedi.
-Madem bana s\u00f6z verdin, Medusa\u2019n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 getirmelisin, dedi.
Amac\u0131 bu imkans\u0131z g\u00f6revi vererek Perseus\u2019u ba\u015f\u0131ndan savmak ve g\u00f6nl\u00fcn\u00fc kapt\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131 gen\u00e7 annesi Danae\u2019yi metres yapmakt\u0131. Medusa ger\u00e7ekten de yenilmez ve \u00e7ok korkun\u00e7 bir yarat\u0131kt\u0131. Kocaman ve i\u011fren\u00e7 surat\u0131nda yass\u0131 bir burun ve iki geni\u015f kulak, a\u011fz\u0131nda yaban domuzlar\u0131n\u0131 and\u0131ran uzun di\u015fler, yan\u0131k tenli aln\u0131n\u0131n \u00fczerinde sa\u00e7 yerine k\u0131vr\u0131m k\u0131vr\u0131m zehir sa\u00e7an y\u0131lanlar vard\u0131. Tun\u00e7 kollarla m\u00fccehhez bu acuze kad\u0131n\u0131n sesi vah\u015fi hayvanlar\u0131 and\u0131r\u0131r , deh\u015fet sa\u00e7an g\u00f6zlerine bakanlar hemen ta\u015f kesilirdi.
Perseus verdi\u011fi bu b\u00fcy\u00fck s\u00f6z\u00fc tutmak zorunda oldu\u011funu anlay\u0131nca d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnceye dald\u0131. Yan\u0131na gelen Hermes, Zeka tanr\u0131\u00e7as\u0131 Athena\u2019n\u0131n yard\u0131m\u0131yla bu i\u015fi ba\u015farabilece\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Athena\u2019dan ald\u0131\u011f\u0131 cin fikirlerle ihtiyar Grai\u2019lardan bir \u00e7ift kanatl\u0131 sandal, bir heybe bir de ba\u015f\u0131na takan\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fcnmez yapan e\u011freti sa\u00e7 almay\u0131 ba\u015fard\u0131.
Kanatl\u0131 sandallar\u0131 iki aya\u011f\u0131na ba\u011flayan, kendisini g\u00f6r\u00fcnmez yapan takma sa\u00e7\u0131 ba\u015f\u0131na takan ve heybeyi s\u0131rt\u0131na alan Perseus, Medusa\u2019n\u0131n bulundu\u011fu yere do\u011fru yola \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. \u00dc\u00e7 i\u011fren\u00e7 k\u0131z karde\u015fleri yani Gorgon\u2019lar\u0131 uyur halde buldu. Fani olan Medusa\u2019ya yakla\u015ft\u0131. Kendisine bak\u0131p ta\u015fla\u015ft\u0131rmas\u0131n diye arkas\u0131n\u0131 d\u00f6n\u00fcp k\u0131l\u0131c\u0131n\u0131 Medusa\u2019n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131na savurdu. Kopan kafas\u0131n\u0131 heybesine koydu. Medusa\u2019n\u0131n yere d\u00f6k\u00fclen kanlar\u0131ndan kanatl\u0131 at Pegasus do\u011fdu.
Perseus u\u00e7arak oradan uzakla\u015ft\u0131. Yolda heybeden damlayan Medusa\u2019n\u0131n kanlar\u0131ndan , bug\u00fcn d\u00fcnyan\u0131n her taraf\u0131nda g\u00f6r\u00fclen zehirli y\u0131lanlar do\u011fdu.
Perseus ak\u015fam\u00fczeri \u015fark \u00fclkesine do\u011fru yakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131nda yeni bir macera ile kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131.
O\u2019nun ula\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131 Memlekette Kepheus ad\u0131nda bir Kral h\u00fck\u00fcm s\u00fcr\u00fcyordu. Kepheus\u2019un kar\u0131s\u0131 Kassiepeia gururuna kap\u0131larak kendisinin Nereid\u2019lerden daha g\u00fczel oldu\u011funu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc. K\u0131zlar\u0131n\u0131n k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fcmsenmesine hiddetlenen Tanr\u0131 Posseidon Kepheus\u2019un yurduna kar\u015f\u0131 konulmaz bir deniz canavar\u0131n\u0131 musallat etti.
Tanr\u0131lara dan\u0131\u015fan Kral Kepheus , bu afetten kurtulmas\u0131n\u0131n tek yolunun g\u00fczel k\u0131z\u0131 Andromede\u2019yi bu deniz canavar\u0131na kurban etmek oldu\u011funu \u00f6\u011frendi.
Perseus , Habe\u015fistan\u2019a geldi\u011fi zaman Andromede\u2019yi koca bir kayaya ba\u011fl\u0131 olarak buldu. Olay\u0131n i\u00e7y\u00fcz\u00fcn\u00fc \u00f6\u011frendikten sonra bu d\u00fcnyalar g\u00fczeli k\u0131za a\u015f\u0131k oldu. Tam o s\u0131rada korkun deniz canavar\u0131 ortaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131. Kocaman a\u011fz\u0131n\u0131 kayalara ba\u011fl\u0131 olan Andromede\u2019yi yutmak i\u00e7in a\u00e7arak geldi\u011fi s\u0131rada Perseus bir ok gibi f\u0131rlad\u0131 ve ucu demirli m\u0131zra\u011f\u0131n\u0131 canavar\u0131n g\u00f6\u011fs\u00fcne saplad\u0131. Perseus Andromede\u2019nin ba\u011flar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7\u00f6zd\u00fc. Babas\u0131 Kral Kepheus\u2019a g\u00f6t\u00fcrerek evlenmek istedi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Beladan kurtulan Kral da bu teklifi kabul etti. Muhte\u015fem bir d\u00fc\u011f\u00fcnle evlenen \u00e7ift daha sonra Medusa\u2019n\u0131n kesik ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 da alarak Seriphos adas\u0131na do\u011fru yola koyuldular.
Fakat Seriphos Kral\u0131 Polydektes ,Perseus\u2019un yoklu\u011fundan faydalanarak annesi Danae\u2019ye sahip olmak istemi\u015f, buna kar\u015f\u0131 koyan Danae de bir mabede s\u0131\u011f\u0131nmak zorunda kalm\u0131\u015ft\u0131.
\u0130\u015fte tam bu s\u0131rada ve olanlardan habersiz Kral Polydektes\u2019in huzuruna \u00e7\u0131kan Perseus, Medusa\u2019n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 getirdi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Fakat kalbi kinle dolu olan Kral Polydektes, Perseus\u2019a yalan s\u00f6yledi\u011fini ve zaferinden \u015f\u00fcphe etti\u011fini s\u00f6yledi.
Kral\u0131n bu tavr\u0131na sinirlenen Perseus Medusa\u2019n\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 heybeden \u00e7\u0131kararak Kral\u00e2 uzatt\u0131.
