Script Summary:

Get ready for an epic adventure! Perseus, a young hero, is given the insanely dangerous task of defeating Medusa, a terrifying Gorgon cursed by Athena with snakes for hair and a deadly stare that turns anyone into stone. With some serious godly backup—thanks to Hermes and Athena—Perseus is gifted winged sandals and a reflective shield to help him on his mission. After pulling off a slick move to get directions from the Graeae Sisters, Perseus tracks down Medusa in her creepy lair. Using his shield to avoid her deadly gaze, he defeats her like a total boss. But the story doesn’t end there—out of Medusa’s blood comes Pegasus, the legendary flying horse! Perseus then uses Medusa’s head to rescue Andromeda and turn his enemies to stone. Mission complete. Epic hero status unlocked until the shocking truth about Medusa comes out! The truth leaves even the gods questioning their actions. Heroics, plot twists, and legendary moments await—don’t miss this epic tale!
