PRODUCT SUMMARY
The ancient Greeks believed that their lives were controlled by the fates. But how a person arrived at his or her destiny was another matter -- both free will and the influence of the gods played major roles in shaping a person's life. Case in point: Perseus, whose tale is of a young man who struggles to fulfill his own fate with the help of the powerful goddess, Athena. Perseus & Medusa chronicles this hero's quest to pursue the head of a hideous Gorgon whose terrifying stare could turn men to stone! Part of the multivolume Greek Mythology for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
