What is the legend of the Greek hero Perseus?
King Acrisicis received a prophecy from the oracle that his grandson would kill him, so he locked up his daughter, Danae. Zeus loved Danae, so they secretly got married. Danae soon had a son, Perseus. Danae ran away to an island with her son. A king of that island, Polydectes, wanted to marry Danae, but wanted to get rid of Perseus. He asked Perseus to kill the gorgon Medusa, and bring him the head. Perseus agreed. With the help of a few tools the gods gave him, Perseus cut off Medusa's head, which could turn people into stone. On the way back, he saved a princess named Andromeda, and married her. Medusa's head's stare killed Polydectes, and he, his mother, and Andromeda lived in peace for the rest of their lives, after King Acrisicis died when Perseus threw a discus by accident.

Well, honey, Perseus had a whole squad helping him out. But the main players were Athena, who gave him a shiny shield, Hermes, who hooked him up with a sick sword, and good ol' Medusa, who inadvertently helped him by turning into stone. So, yeah, Perseus had some divine intervention on his side.
