Write a well argued paragraph on Perseus on how he should be more well known and popular.

Contrary to popular belief I think that Perseus is fairly well known, but people are just unaware of it. The story of Perseus takes him from Aggro's to Seriphos then to his quests to fight the Gorgons. He encounters the magical beast Pegasus (the flying horse) which is an icon for many companies all over the world. People can recognize the Pegasus, even if they don't realize that the creature is from the story of Perseus. Another notable figure is the Gorgon, Medusa. Which has been used as a slang term to describe a ugly and mean woman. I believe that people know of the story but may not fully understand it. Perseus' story is used as vague references in cartoons and other sitcoms, which can entice people go to out and seek the story for themselves. I believe that schools should automatically have a Greek mythology course (mine did) so that children can learn these things. They are great stories and most have a moral to learn from.
