crises
Perseus ventures into the cave, lucky for him, Medusa and her sisters are asleep, allowing him to decapitate Medusa. He stores her head in his Kibisis.

On his way back he runs into Atlas (the Titan required to hold up the earth) and asks him for shelter. The titan refuses and as punishment Perseus turns him into stone. Before reaching Seriphus, Perseus stops again. -
