Perseus is tasked with bringing the head of Medusa to King Polydectes as part of a treacherous scheme. Polydectes desires to rid himself of Perseus, who is the son of Zeus and a threat to his ambitions, particularly because he seeks to marry Perseus's mother, Danaë. By sending Perseus on the seemingly impossible quest to obtain Medusa's head, Polydectes hopes to eliminate him. Perseus's success in retrieving the head ultimately leads to unexpected consequences for the king.
