Class begins with a quick overview where we find Perseus.  He has just slain Medusa and will return to Seriphos.  He promptly runs into Andromeda, a beautiful Ethiopian princess left out as sacrifice to the angry gods.  We will learn the origin of the prophecy that doomed Andromeda and its location.  Here a tie in with Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick' will be used to describe the sea monster and Perseus' battle with it.  While fighting the beast, Perseus lays aside Medusa's head; here we will learn the mythological origin of coral.  Perseus uses Medusa to solve several arguments, if time permits, sections from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' will be read to describe the battle.  Further, we will learn of Perseus' argument with Atlas and the formation of the Atlas Mountains.  Perseus returns to Seriphos and quickly solves his Polydectes problem, then continues to Argos to meet his grandfather.  Finally we close with how Perseus mistakenly slays his father, inherits his kingdom, quickly trades it for another, and establishes Mycenae.  Just two generations later, Hercules is born and his adventures begin.

Orientación para padres

Violent acts are discussed like the slaying of a sea monster and many people being turned to stone. Ovid's Metamorphoses itself is quite violent and a sample follows: "And Perseus, all warrior, leaped down And flung it back again, and would have killed him, But Phineus cringes and hid behind the altar And so found safety, but the spear-point found Another victim; it drove through Rhoetus' forehead, Somebody pulled it loose, and Rhoetus groveled, Splattering blood across the ground and tables." -Metamorphoses: Book Five, Lines 20-47; Translated by Rolfe Humphries
