THE LEGEND OF PERSEUS
If you’re looking up at the night sky in mid-August, you might notice the Perseid Meteor Shower taking place.This awesome phenomenon originates from the constellation Perseus, named for the hero of Greek myth. In Greek mythology, Perseus is given the gruesome task of procuring the head of Medusa, a snake-haired creature who turns mortals to stone with a mere glance. Using his wit (and a few gifts from the Greek gods) Perseus manages to slay Medusa. On his journey home, he meets Princess Andromeda and immediately falls for her. Perseus and Andromeda manage to overcome other obstacles and are eventually married. When you look up at the constellation of Perseus, Andromeda’s constellation is right next to it, as the hero was laid to rest next to his love.
