Reading Notes: Ovid's Metamorphosis, Part B

From this section I loved the story about Perseus and Medusa. I think this tale is a very fascinating one and can come from all angles and be made to be unique. I think one unique way of making this story play out and how I want to take it, is that the King and Queen didn't send Perseus to defeat Medusa, but that Medusa came seeking out the lives of the King and Queen and especially there daughter. So this story could be the rise of a mere man who becomes the hero and in the end finds true love from Andromeda. The story of this battle can be taken far and show some sacrifice and the destruction of Medusa.
