What happens to polydectes in the myth medusas head?
To cut a long story short, Polydectes was turned to stone. But here's the full story: King Polydectes of Seriphos fell in love with Danae, mother of the Greek hero Perseus. However, Perseus was protective and wouldn't let Polydectes near her. Polydectes pretended he was going to marry a princess and ordered every man in his kingdom to supply him with a gift. Perseus couldn't afford a gift, and so pledged the King anything he wanted. Polydectes asked for the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus killed Medusa and returned with her head, but found Polydectes was threatening and abusing his mother Danae. Perseus snuck into the throne room, where he found Polydectes and his nobles. When they gazed upon Medusa's head, they were turned to stone.
