After being spawned as a result of a Zeus-inspired immaculate conception, Perseus grows up to survive being imprisoned in a bronze cell, tossed into the ocean while locked in a trunk with his mother, and of course his eventual battle with the snake-haired Medusa, who has the power to turn folks to stone.
