A figure from Greek mythology, a hero known for slaying the Gorgon Medusa and rescuing Andromeda.
From Greek 'Perseus,' a name of unknown origin, likely ancient. He was one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology, his story told in Homer and Ovid's works, symbolizing courage and the triumph of cleverness over brute strength.
Perseus defeated Medusa not by fighting her directly but by using his shield as a mirror—he won by intelligence, not strength. This is why Greek heroes were so fascinating: they show that being clever and strategic matters as much as being brave.
