What elements of a quest appear in Perseus's story?

Question

Perseus was sent to kill Medusa, and it is greek mythology. There u go details.

Answer 1

Well, he goes off to prove something. He has supernatural help. He goes on a perilous journey. He faces great odds. He defeats two things more powerful than he--Medusa and the Krackon. And finally, he gets the girl in the end. Oh yeah, he was of noble birth.

Answer 2

A quest is simply a journey towards a goal used in mythology and literature as a plot. In literature, the objects of quests require great exertion on the part of the hero, and the overcoming of many obstacles, typically including much travel, which also allows the storyteller to showcase exotic locations and cultures.

The initial part of the quest begins with Perseus offering the head of Medusa to Polydectes in liu of a horse.

Secondly he had to overcome the obstacle of The Gorgons in order to locate Medusa. Helped by Athena. She gives him magical gifts.

Thirdly he had to slay the sea monster Ceto in order to free Andromeda.

Created the flying horses Pegasus and Chrysaor from Medusa's blood.

Married Andromeda

Kills Polydectes with Medusa's head as he's violent to Jason's mother.

Returns gifts and Medusa's head to Athena.

Perseus's quest has now come full circle and the oracle is fulfilled.

Answer 3

It would be exactly the same. Krishna was his mother's eighth pregnancy. It was not a virgin birth. The Hindu concept of Trimurti is completely different from the Christian concept of the Trinity. Krishna was not crucified. Nor was he resurrected by most accounts. And the criteria for salvation is also different. Ask a Hindu, instead of whoever you're depending on for a source. They'll tell you that although there are some similarities, they're few and far between. The only thing I really agree with Hindus on is that God is beyond comprehension.

Answer 4

The stages of the HERO are:

1) THE HERO IS INTRODUCED IN HIS ORDINARY WORLD.
2) THE CALL TO ADVENTURE.
3) THE HERO IS RELUCTANT AT FIRST.
4) THE HERO IS ENCOURAGED BY THE WISE OLD MAN OR WOMAN.
5) THE HERO PASSES THE FIRST THRESHOLD.
6) THE HERO ENCOUNTERS TESTS AND HELPERS.
7) THE HERO REACHES THE INNERMOST CAVE

8) THE HERO ENDURES THE SUPREME ORDEAL.
9) THE HERO SIEZES THE SWORD.
10) THE ROAD BACK
11) RESURRECTION.
12) RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR.

THE SHORT FORM OF THE HERO STORY:

The hero is introduced in his ordinary world, where he receives the
call to adventure. He is reluctant at first but is encouraged by
the wise old man or woman to cross the first threshold, where he
encounters tests and helpers. He reaches the innermost cave, where
he endures the supreme ordeal. He seizes the sword or the treasure
and is pursued on the road back to his world. He is resurrected and
transformed by his experience. He returns to his ordinary world with
a treasure, boon, or elixir to benefit his world.

As with any formula, there are pitfalls to be avoided. Following
the guidelines of myth too rigidly can lead to a stiff, unnatural
structure, and there is danger of being too obvious.

The HERO MYTH is a skeleton that should be masked with the details
of the individual story, and the structure should not call attention
to itself. The order of the hero's stages as given here is only one
of many variations. The stages can be deleted, added to, and
drastically reshuffled without losing their power.
