Could a monster whose very look turns men to stone be a challenge too perilous even for the son of Zeus? King Polydectes has designs on Perseus' mother, Danaë. But first the king must get rid of young Perseus once and for all. So Polydectes hatches a plan to trick the young hero into performing an impossible task--slay the snake-haired Gorgon monster Medusa, whose very look turns men to stone. Yet, as the son of Zeus, king of the gods, Perseus has many powerful allies. Will Perseus' strength and courage--and the favor of the gods--allow him to do the impossible?

GREAT intro to comics; a little pricey,

This review is from: Perseus: The Hunt for Medusa's Head: A Greek Myth (Graphic Myths and Legends) (Paperback)
This is a well drawn, well written version of the Perseus myth. I esp. like that there's a glossary and a related-reading page at the end of the book. My kid is all into myths, and he's going into 3rd grade, so he's just reading for pleasure now. this is a great way to get him to read for pleasure.[...]

Another great story,

This review is from: Perseus: The Hunt for Medusa's Head: A Greek Myth (Graphic Myths and Legends) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this one along with Beowulf, Odysseus, and Atalanta. This one is action-packed, so it is a great enticement for young readers. It includes the killing of the Medusa, the killing of a sea monster, a romance with a beautiful Ethiopean queen, a fight with an Ethiopean army, and a final encounter with a lustful king who wants his mother. Each event is narrated in details, no survey quality to it. This is a 5 plus.
