Izinganekwane zamaGreki zinamadoda angavamile anamakhono angaphezu kwawomuntu abeka wonke amandla awo, isibindi nokuhlakanipha enkonzweni yesintu, ukuze abasindise enhlekeleleni ethile, izilo kanye nanoma yikuphi okunye okwesabekayo okuthunyelwa onkulunkulu; enye edume kakhulu Perseus futhi ngalesi sihloko uzokwazi wonke umlando wayo.
Inganekwane kaPerseus
Uyise kaDanae, iNkosi u-Acrisius, wayefunde ngesibikezelo ukuthi wayengeke abe nenzalo yesilisa futhi wayesazolahlekelwa ukuphila kwakhe ezandleni zomzukulu wakhe, inzalo yendodakazi yakhe eyizibulo uDanae. U-Acririo wayengenaso isibindi sokubulala indodakazi yakhe, kodwa wayesaba kakhulu ukuthi ukuphila kwakhe kwakuzophuphuthekiswa umzukulu wakhe; ngakho wayala ngokuqinile uDanae ukuba avalelwe emgodini ojulile ongaphansi komhlaba.
Eboshwe ngamaketanga ngaphansi, akukho ngozi eyayingadala inzalo yakhe okuwukuphela kwayo. Ngakho-ke u-Acrisius wathula njengoba u-Danae oneshwa echitha izinsuku zakhe kulo mgodi odangele, ngaphandle kokukhanya noma ukuxhumana nezwe langaphandle. Onkulunkulu, bebona lesi senzo esingenabulungisa, abazange bakubekezelele ukuphikisana kwenkosi; khona-ke uZeyusi wayejwayele ukujezisa abantu abafayo abazama ukushintsha inkambo yezinto ukuze kuzuze yena, washintsha isimo sakhe sezinto ezibonakalayo.
Inkosi yonkulunkulu yaguqulwa yaba i-drizzle yegolide, yangena emgodini lapho uDanae ayebanjwe khona futhi yamanzisa umzimba wenkosazana ngalokho kubukeka okugelezayo kombala wegolide; ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye ngemva kokuhlanganiswa kwabo, uPerseus indodana yonkulunkulu nesiphetho savela.
U-Acrisio akakwazanga ukuvumela uPerseus athuthuke, ngaphezu kwalokho izinqumo zakhe zazisebuthakathaka ukuze alawule ukubulawa kwakhe ngokushesha, njengoba igazi lakhe laligeleza kuye esemncane. Exazulula le ndaba ngezinye izindlela, wayala ukuba umzukulu nendodakazi yakhe baphonswe olwandle ngebhokisi lokhuni elivalwe ngokuphelele; futhi akwaziwa ukuthi uDanae noPerseus, ngenxa yokudalelwa noma ukungenela konkulunkulu, bafika ngokuphepha yini esiqhingini saseSeriphos.
Lapho bekwazile khona ukutakulwa nokunakekelwa nguDictis owayeyinkosi yalesi siqhingi, ebekwe umfowabo uPolidectes owayeyinkosi yaso njengamanje. Ngokufanayo, uPolydectes wamukela uDanae noPerseus ngemfudumalo enkantolo yakhe (kwakuyivelakancane ezweni kulezi zinsuku ukwamukela abantu bakwamanye amazwe).
Cishe ngaso leso sikhathi inkosi yayithanda le nkosazana, ngakho yabambelela ekutheni ngesikhathi esithile izoyithatha njengeyakhe; ngakho-ke uPolidectes wacela uDanae ukuba ashade naye, nokho, inkosazana yasenqaba ngokuphindaphindiwe isicelo sakhe, kuyilapho inkosi idlala ngokuthi ingalokothi ikuyekise lokhu kuyithanda.
Njengoba iminyaka idlula, uPerseus waba iqhawe elingavamile futhi elinamandla, kangangokuthi, nakuba uPolidectes wayesafuna ukuba noDanae, wayesaba ngokumangalisayo indodana yakhe; wabe esekha icebo lokumhlukanisa naye. Wamemezela umshado mbumbulu enkosazaneni embusweni ongumakhelwane, ngakho wayeyidinga isipho esingavamile esasizomenza abukeke ecebile emehlweni abanye.
Inkosi yathumela le nsizwa emva kwekhanda likagologo, elidume ngekhono elisabekayo lokuphendula noma ubani olibuka libe ngamatshe; Wayecabanga ukuthi uPerseus wayengeke abe isithiyo phakathi kwakhe noDanae, ngakho leli kwakuyithuba elihle lokuba insizwa iguqulwe ibe yitshe.
UPolidectes wayengazi ukuthi wayesemyalweni wendodana kaZeus uqobo, unkulunkulu we-Olympus nonkulunkulu. U-Athena unkulunkulukazi wokuhlakanipha, walungiselela uPerseus ukuba abone iMedusa evela kwamanye amaGorgons futhi wamnika isihlangu futhi ngosizo lwalesi sipho, wayezokwazi ukumbona ngeso lengqondo ngensimbi futhi ambulale ngaphandle kokumguqula abe ngamatshe. Kodwa akuphelelanga lapho! UHermes, unkulunkulu oyisithunywa, wanika uPerseus isikela elinomlingo elikwazi ukusika intamo yalesi silo.
Kodwa lolu hambo lwalungeke lube lula kangako, uPerseus kwakusadingeka athole indlela eyayizomyisa eGorgon futhi wakwenza lokho ngokusongela odadewabo baseGrayas abadumile baseGorgons, nabo ababenezwi elinempendulo ukufa kweMedusa; lokhu kwakudinga izimbadada ezinamaphiko, isikhwama sokugcina ikhanda le-gorgon nesigqoko esingabonakali seHayidesi unkulunkulu wendawo engaphansi.
Siyabonga onkulunkulu uPerseus wafika endaweni eqondile ngenkathi ama-gorgon ephumula ubuthongo obunzima, ngokunqoba eqaqa ikhanda likaMedusa. Igazi le-monster lanika impilo kuPegasus, ihhashi elinamaphiko amsiza ukuba abaleke ekuthukutheleni kodadewabo; kanje Perseus waba iqhawe edume. Endleleni egodukayo, wakhulula u-Andromeda esilwaneni sasolwandle, okwaqala isibopho somshado phakathi kwalezi zinsizwa ezimbili.
Lapho ebuyela ekhaya, uPolidectes wayesezophoqelela unina uDanae ukuba amjoyine, nokho, le nsizwa, ibona ukuhlukunyezwa okunjalo, yathatha ikhanda likaMedusa inkosi eyayilithunywe yinkosi yaliguqula libe itshe, ngaleyo ndlela ihlenga uDanae. izandla zenkosi. Kamuva, wamemezela uDictis inkosi yaseSeriphos, owabuyisana ngokuthula kuyo yonke lendawo.
Ngokulandelayo, uPerseus osemusha waphinde wabuyela e-Argos, umbuso lapho umkhulu wakhe u-Acririo ayemxoshe khona, owayebalekile ukuze angabulawa manje njengoba umzukulu wakhe eseyiqhawe; kodwa isiphetho siguquguquka kakhulu.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi laba bobabili baya emcimbini wezemidlalo lapho kungekho muntu obonakele khona omunye. Khona-ke, lapho u-Perseus ehlanganyela ekuqeqesheni kwezemidlalo wenza ukuphonsa okubi lapho i-disc yahlala khona ngokuqondile ekhanda likamkhulu wakhe, u-Acrisio wacishe washiya leli zwe ngenxa yokulimala okubulalayo; futhi yile ndlela onkulunkulu ababonisa ngayo ukuthi akekho umuntu ofayo ongalwa nokudalelwa.
Umama kaPerseus
UDanae wayeyinkosazana enhle futhi engenacala ehlala e-Argos, leli dolobha laliseGulf of Tiryns futhi laliyinhloko-dolobha yawo wonke ama-Argolida ePeloponnese yamaGreki futhi lapho kwabusa amawele amabili, ngokushintshana: amakhosi u-Akrisio noPreto, indodana yodumo. Abante warrior. U-Acrisius wayengumyeni ka-Eurydice, futhi emshadweni wabo kwazalwa indodakazi: uDanae.
Le nkosazane enhle yaphila impilo yobuntwana ejabulisayo, inganaki umbango owawukhona phakathi kukayise nomalume owawubangelwa ukushintshana kwesihlalo sobukhosi. Lo mbango wakhula ngenxa yokungakwazi kuka-Acrisio ukuthola indodana kanye nokubuka kukaPreto indodakazi yakhe uDanae, owabonakala kuye ephupheni amabi. Edumele ngenxa yokungabi nendlalifa yesilisa, u-Akrisius uya endlini yokushumayela yaseDelphi ukuze athole ukuthi lokho kuyoke kusiguqule yini lesi simo; lapho umphrofethi engamtshelanga nje ukuthi akasoze abe nendlalifa, kodwa wayezofela ezandleni zomzukulu wakhe.
Ukuze kuvinjwe lesi simangalo, iNkosi u-Acrisius yavalela indodakazi yakhe ekamelweni elingaphansi komhlaba noma endaweni ebiyelwe ngokuphelele yethusi. Kodwa-ke, uZeyusi ophakeme, othanda kakhulu onkulunkulu, uthathwa nguye futhi uzama ukumthatha ngokuphendukela kwelinye lamaqhinga akhe amaningi noma ukuguqulwa kwabantu abafayo (wayevele eguqule idada ukuze ajoyine uLeda, ethatha ukubukeka kwakhe. Umsingathi ukuba abe noLeda) umkakhe u-Alcmene, waguqulwa waba yinkunzi ethobekile ukuze athande iYurophu, waba unkulunkulukazi u-Artemis ngokwakhe ukuze alale nomfene wakhe uCallisto).
Konke kwenzeka ngobusuku obugcwele izinkanyezi, uDanae wayengagqokile izingubo embhedeni wakhe ephupha inkululeko ayeyifisa lapho uZeus ebonakala ngeminye yemifantu yegumbi, eguqulelwe ekubeni i-drizzle yegolide ethambile kakhulu. Khona-ke, uZeus waxubha ngesifutho esincane umzimba onqunu nowethukile kaDanae, owahlatshwa umxhwele ukuvakasha okubaluleke kangaka. Lawa mazolo egolide, ngokugona okukhanyayo nokunamandla, abamba owesifazane osemusha, amethula ngembewu yempilo entsha: yeqhawe lesikhathi esizayo uPerseus.
Ngokusho kwabanye ababhali, isikhathi uDanae wakhulisa indodana yakhe ngasese, abanye bathi ngemva nje kokubeletha u-Acrisius wathola iqiniso futhi ngemva kokuzwa izindaba ezishaqisayo, wavalela indodakazi yakhe nendodana yakhe ebhokisini noma esifubeni, wabaphonsa olwandle. . Yile ndlela uDanae noPerseus omncane abaqala ngayo uhambo ngaphakathi kwesifuba, okwathi ngenxa yemimoya emihle namagagasi aqhutshwa uPoseidon afika esiqhingini saseSeriphos, ekwazi ukuphunyuka ekuminzeni ngokuphepha nalapho atakulwa khona umdobi uDictis owabamukela. endlini yakho.
Ngemva kwesikhathi, iNkosi uPolidectes yathandana noDanae futhi yazama ukususa uPerseus kunina ngokumenza athembise ukuthola ikhanda lomunye wama-gorgon, lowo ohlukumeza noma ubani oyibukayo. Ebuyela eSeriphos no-Andromeda, uPerseus uziphindiselela enkosini (eyazama ukudlwengula unina futhi yabalekela ethempelini e-Athene) ngokumhlukumeza ngekhanda le-gorgon Medusa.
U-Perseus ubuya noDanae e-Argos, lapho u-Acrisius ebalekela khona lapho ekhumbula ukubikezela kwe-oracle. Kodwa, inkosi endala ngenkathi ihambela uLarisa emgubhweni wezemidlalo lapho uPerseus eqhudelana khona njengomdlali, washaywa kabi ngokuphathwa kabi kanye ne-disc propulsion eyenziwa nguPerseus.
UPerseus noMedusa
EGreece yasendulo iMedusa yayingomunye wama gorgons amathathu okwakungonkulunkulu ababi basolwandle, kodwa uMedusa kuphela owayefa, kuyilapho abanye odade abangu-3 u-Esteno no-Euríale babengafi. Lawa ayehlala kude nentshonalanga, ngaphesheya kwezwe lamaHesperides emngceleni ophakathi komhlaba nolwandle olucishe lushayisane nomngcele wendawo yabafileyo.
Babenamaphiko egolide abenza bakwazi ukundiza, izinwele ezakhiwe izinyoka, amazinyo abukhali afana nawengulube, intamo yayinezimbotshana eziwugqinsi zikadrako, futhi amehlo ayebukhali futhi ethusayo kangangokuthi noma ubani owayenesibindi sokumphazamisa. indlela yakhe yamangala ngenxa yokwesaba futhi ngokushesha yaphenduka itshe; ngakho wonke umuntu wayemesaba.
Bonke ngaphandle kukaPerseus, owayengunkulunkulu wesiGreki owanquma ukubulala iMedusa futhi ahlenge umhlaba ekuguqulweni kwezibalo zamatshe. Kodwa isimo sasingelula kuye, uPerseus wacela usizo konkulunkulu bamaGreki ababemsiza ngokumnika izipho ayezozidinga ukuze anqobe uMedusa. Ukuze enze lokhu, u-Athena wamnika isihlangu esasiyisibuko, uZeyusi wamnika isikela elibukhali kakhulu, uHermesi wamboleka izimbadada zakhe ezinamaphiko futhi iHayidesi lamboleka isigqoko sakhe esamenza wangabonakali.
Ehlome ngazo zonke lezi zipho, uPerseus waya ekushaqekeni kweGorgon. Futhi lapho wathola uMedusa, ehamba ethokozile, eguqula bonke ababesendleleni yakhe babe izibalo zamatshe. Lapho uMedusa ehlala phansi ukuze aphumule, u-Perseus waqala iqhinga lakhe, akakwazanga ukumbona ngamehlo akhe ngenxa yokuthi wayezomguqula abe ngamatshe, ngakho wasebenzisa isihlangu sesibuko ukulawula ukunyakaza kweMedusa.
Ngokushesha nje lapho embona ephumula, uPerseus wagqoka isigqoko sakhe sokungabonakali, izimbadada zakhe ezinamaphiko futhi wandizela ngesikela lakhe elilungele ukukhipha ikhanda likaMedusa. Ekugcineni kwaba yimpumelelo enkulu, njengoba uPerseus wakwazi ukunquma ikhanda likaMedusa walifaka esikhwameni esingabonakali ukuze lingalimaza omunye umuntu; Ngaphezu kwalokho, ihhashi elidumile lasePegasus lazalwa egazini likaMedusa, ihhashi elindizayo.
Perseus futhi Andromeda
UCassiopeia, eqiniseka ngobuhle bendodakazi yakhe, waqhosha ngesenzo sokuziqhenya ngokuthi i-Andromeda yayiyinhle kakhulu kunamaNereids, iqembu lezinyosi zasolwandle. Ecasulwe yilesi sitatimende, amaNereid abhikishela uPoseidon, unkulunkulu wolwandle, owathi njengesijeziso wathumela impi enzima embusweni kanye nesilo esacekela phansi ugu olusempumalanga. Esephelelwe yithemba ngenxa yalesi simo, uCepheus wazinikela kumphrofethi owamtshela ukuthi ukuphela kwendlela yokusindisa umbuso wakhe ukubophela indodakazi yakhe u-Andromeda ngamaketanga etsheni elingaphansi kwewa futhi adedele isilo sasolwandle siyidle.
UCepheus walungiselela ukwamukela isinqumo sesiphrofetho futhi u-Andromeda wavumela isiphetho sakhe ngokuzinikela okuphelele. Nokho, uPerseus edabula eJopha futhi lapho wabona ngeso lengqondo u-Andromeda eboshiwe, emthanda. Ngakho wavakashela uCepheus, ukuze acele ukuzibophezela kunkosikazi omuhle, inkosi yamukela inqobo nje uma uPerseus ebulala isilo sasolwandle.
Eqinisweni, uPerseus wayesanda kubulala uMedusa, omunye wama-gorgon amathathu, owayeyisidalwa esisabekayo esinezinyoka esikhundleni sezinwele ezazinamandla okuguqula noma yisiphi isidalwa esasimbona sibe itshe; Eskhwameni ayesiphethe wayenekhanda lakhe, ngakho wakhombisa ikhanda lakhe enunu yasolwandle, ngokushesha yaphenduka itshe.
UPerseus engazi, uCaffeus wayesethembise u-Andromeda kumalume wakhe uPhineus. Edilini lomshado kaPerseus no-Andromeda, uFineus wavela neqembu lamadoda ahlomile futhi wafuna ukuba u-Andromeda anikelwe kuye; Nokho, uPerseus waphinda wasebenzisa ikhanda likaMedusa, eguqula uPhineus namadoda akhe baba ngamatshe.
UPerseus no-Andromeda babenezingane eziyisikhombisa futhi bahlala ndawonye kukho konke ukuphila kwabo. Ngokwesazi-mlando esingumGreki uHerodotus, amakhosi asePheresiya ayizindlalifa zendodana yokuqala yombhangqwana wasePers. Lapho u-Andromeda noPerseus befa, unkulunkulukazi u-Athena wababeka esibhakabhakeni njengamaqoqo ezinkanyezi, egcina abazali baka-Andromeda kanye nenkampani yezilo zasolwandle.
Perseus futhi Hercules
UHercules wayeyinzalo kaZeus no-Alcmene, futhi elinye lamaqhawe angamaGreki aziwa kakhulu ngenxa yamandla akhe, isibindi, ukukhuthazela, umusa, ububele, isifiso sokudla, nokuminza. Lokhu kwakunokuxhumana kukamama noPerseus, wayengumzukulu wokugcina. Lapho ezalwa, wethiwa igama elithi Alcides, ngenxa yokubonga nokuhlonipha umkhulu wakhe; nokho, lapho esekhulile, wanikwa igama likaHercules ngu-Apollo, ngaleyo ndlela emhlanganisa njengenceku kankulunkulukazi uHera.
Inganekwane yakhe inqunywa ngesikhathi sesenzo sobuhlanya esibangelwa uHera ngamabomu, lapho uHercules abulala khona ingxenye yomndeni wakhe, okuhlanganisa: umkakhe, izingane kanye nabashana ababili; Ngokuzisola ngenxa yalokhu, wayalwa ukuba enze imisebenzi eyishumi nambili ehlelwe ngu-Eurystheus.
Perseus futhi Atlas
Lapho uPerseus ebulala uMedusa, wathatha ikhanda lakhe futhi wandizela ezweni lapho kwakuhlala khona i-Titan Atlas. I-atlas yayingafi yobukhulu obusabekayo futhi ukuziqhenya kwakhe okukhulu kwakuwukunakekela ingadi yakhe lapho kwakukhona khona izihlahla ezinezithelo zegolide. Lapho efika kule ndawo, uPerseus wazethula njengendodana kaZeus futhi wathi wayevakashele njengesivakashi, kodwa u-Atlas, esola futhi esaba ukuthi ufuna ukweba izithelo zakhe zegolide, wamxosha.
U-Atlas wayengumdondoshiya futhi uPerseus akazange alinge ukumhlangabeza, ngakho wamnika isikhwama esasifihla ikhanda likaMedusa njengesipho; ngakho-ke uPerseus waqhubeka nokususa ikhanda likaMedusa ngenkathi ebheke eceleni, lapho cishe ngokushesha umzimba we-Titan Atlas waguqulwa waba intaba yetshe enobukhulu obukhulu.
Perseus futhi Pegasus
I-pegasus ihhashi elikhulu, elibabazekayo elinamaphiko amakhulu anezimpaphe. Ngokuvamile, zivame ukuba mhlophe, nakuba zingavela futhi emithunzini ensundu ngisho namnyama. Lezi zidalwa zinezimfanelo ezinhle, ezingcwele, ezifudumele nezinobungane ezinokuzwela okukhulu nokuqonda, yingakho, ngokusho kwezinganekwane zamaGreki, zingakwazi ukuthambisa kuphela amadoda anenhliziyo enhle.
Inganekwane ithi uPerseus, indodana kaZeus, lapho ehlukanisa ikhanda likaMedusa futhi igazi elaliphuma entanyeni yakhe labangela uPegasus. Ngemva nje kokuzalwa, uPegasus washaya phansi kweNtaba iHelicon futhi kulokhu kushaywa kwavela umfudlana okukholakala ukuthi uyimbewu yogqozi olumangalisayo. Ngokusho kwemithombo yasendulo, uPerseus akazange andizele ePegasus njengoba ethanda ukusebenzisa izimbadada zakhe ezinamaphiko.
Ngemva kwalokho, iqembu elikhulu labantu lazama ukwehlisa ihhashi eliyimfihlakalo neliqinile, kodwa uBellerophon kuphela owafinyelela kulo ngosizo lwezintambo ezingaqondakali ukuthi unkulunkulukazi u-Athena wamnika khona ephusheni, okwathi ngemva kwalokho uBellerophon noPegasus bathola izinto ezinkulu ezifana ne phansi kusukela ku-chimera embi kuze kufike lapho iBellerophon ishayisana khona nonkulunkulu ngokwabo futhi yazama ukundiza iPegasus iye e-Olympus ukuze ibajoyine.
UPegasus wawisa iBellerophon ngaphambi kokuba akwenze futhi uZeus wavuza ihhashi ngokumnika indawo yokukhosela esitebeleni sase-Olympus, emnika umbani nokuduma njengesipho njengezimpawu zamandla akhe. Kamuva, i-Pegasus yaguqulwa yaba umlaza wezinkanyezi phakathi kwePisces ne-Andromeda phakathi neminyaka.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuye kwathiwa kunomjaho ophakeme wamahhashi anamaphiko abizwa ngokuthi "i-Great Pegasus" ezalwa entanyeni ye-jellyfish ebulewe. Lezi zinamandla futhi zikhudlwana, ngokuvamile zingabaholi bamaphakethe e-Pegasus futhi zivumela kuphela ukuthanjiswa yizicukuthwane zamaqhawe.
Ukufa kukaPerseus
U-Perseus wabulala umkhulu wakhe u-Acrisio, lapho i-disc elaphoswa yiqhawe emqhudelwaneni wezemidlalo ichezuka endleleni yayo yashayisa ikhanda lekhehla elaliphakathi kwababehambele lo mcimbi. Kodwa kwakungeyona intando yakhe, hhayi nangengozi ukuthi uPerseus wabulala umkhulu wakhe, kodwa ngomklamo ongaqondakali wonkulunkulu ababemxwayise kudala (Acrisius):
"Ngeke ube namadodana, kodwa kuzoba khona umzukulu ozothatha impilo yakho."
Kunoma yikuphi uPerseus wayegcwele ukuzisola, wakhungathwa ukudabuka okukhulu okwasusa isifiso sakhe sokuhlala e-Argos. Ngakho ngemva kwalesi senzakalo uPerseus wathatha isidumbu sikamufi u-Akrisius wayisa kulo muzi futhi wasingcwaba ethempelini lika-Athena, unkulunkulukazi wakhe ongumvikeli, owawusendaweni ephakeme kakhulu ye-acropolis, okungukuthi, inqaba enezivikelo eziqinile. Kamuva, ephelezelwa umkakhe u-Andromeda, uPerseus waya eTiryns lapho kwabusa khona uMegapente, ahlongoza ukushintsha imibuso kuye.
I-Megapentes yamukela isiphakamiso sikaPerseus futhi yahlala ibusa eTiryns, kodwa uPerseus akazange akuthole ukuthula okwakudingeka umphefumulo wakhe, uhlushwa yicala lokufa kukamkhulu wakhe. Ngakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi waya wathola omunye umuzi awubiza ngokuthi iMycenae, izindonga zawo zaduma kakhulu ngoba zakhiwa amaCyclopes (izidalwa ezimangalisayo ezazineso elilodwa phakathi kwamabunzi azo) futhi yingakho zazingenakunqotshwa, njenge Troy..
UPerseus no-Andromeda babusa isikhathi eside eMycenae futhi bazala amadodana ayisithupha amadoda asePheresiya (owayenguyise wesizwe samaPheresiya, manje esibizwa ngokuthi i-Iran) okuthiwa u-Alcaeus, uMestor, uHelleo, u-Electrión no-Estenelo; kanye nendodakazi engashadile eyanikezwa igama elithi Gorgophene, ngokusobala njengesikhumbuzo sikaMedusa owabulawa uPerseus futhi kanjalo yaba umsekeli kankulunkulukazi u-Athena.
Ngokusho kwenganekwane, ngemva kokuchitha isikhathi eside ebusa uMycenae, uPerseus wabulawa nguMegapente; lona wayemsole ngokubulala uyise, uPreto. Nokho, ngemva kokufa kukaPerseus, okuthiwa kwenzeka ngokuphazima kweso kunomkakhe u-Andromeda, u-Athena wanquma ukuthi babengeke bangene ezweni labafileyo kodwa babekwa esibhakabhakeni bakha imilaza ebizwa ngamagama ayo.
Perseus futhi Kraken
Ngokusho kwezinganekwane zamaGreki, uPerseus nguye owabhekana neKraken esebenzisa ikhanda likaMedusa njengethuluzi lokuvikela ukuvikela inkosazana u-Andromeda bese ebopha naye. UPerseus wayedabula esibhakabhakeni sase-Ethiopia esendleleni eyobona inkosi yakhe uPolydectes, okwakufanele ayinike ikhanda likaMedusa njengesipho somshado lapho nje ezwa ukukhala okudabukisayo kokucela usizo engazi ukuthi kwakuvelaphi.
UPerseus owayedidekile wabona ngeso lengqondo owesifazane eboshelwe ematsheni eduze kolwandle olugubhayo; wayeyinkosazana eyizibulo u-Andromeda waseCassiopeia kanye noCepheus inkosi yase-Ethiopia. Lapho ephambi kwakhe, uPerseus wambuza ukuze athole isizathu sobuhlobo bakhe nokuthi yini ayesaba kakhulu, echaza ukuthi wayezinikele njengomhlatshelo wokuthulisa unkulunkulu uPoseidon owayethukuthelele unina. Cassiopeia futhi owayededele ukubhujiswa okukhulu embusweni waseTopiya.
Kancane kancane i-Kraken yaqala ukuvela olwandle ibheka intombazane eboshwe ngamaketanga futhi ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili uPerseus waphakamisa ikhanda likaMedusa phambi kweKraken, ingxenye yaphenduka itshe, ngaleyo ndlela iphetha ngokuhlaselwa okuqondile okuvela enkembeni yakhe kuya enhliziyweni. U-Andromeda, ehlatshwe umxhwele isenzo esikhulu uPerseus ayesanda kusenza, wagxumela ezingalweni zakhe ebonisa indlela ayebonga ngayo futhi eqala ukumthanda ngokuphelele futhi ngokungalindelekile.
Perseus kumamuvi nemidlalo yevidiyo
I-Perseus iwuphawu futhi ibalulekile ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki, kangangokuthi ezikhathini eziningi umlando walo mlingiswa kuye kwakhulunywa ngawo kumamuvi nasemidlalweni yevidiyo, njengaleyo esizoyichaza ngezansi:
Ulaka lwamaTitans
Ingxenye yokuqala yale filimu ixoxa indaba esondelene kakhulu nokumelelwa kwezinganekwane zamaGreki mayelana ne-demigod Perseus, kodwa le ndaba iqala lapho iNkosi u-Acrisius nabafowabo behlubuka kuNkulunkulu oPhakeme wase-Olympus, uZeus. Efuna ukuziphindiselela eNkosini u-Acrisius, uZeus wathatha isimo nokubukeka kwenkosi futhi walala nomkakhe uDanae.
U-Acririo ngemva kokuzwa ngokwenzekile, wabulala umkakhe futhi wamvalela ebhokisini lomngcwabo nengane ayeyithole kuZeus, wabaphonsa olwandle, bese uZeus emjezisa ngokumenza isilo; nakuba zaphonswa olwandle, umntwana wakwazi ukuphila.
Kafushane, inkosi yase-Argos yahola izakhamuzi ngokudiliza umfanekiso oqoshiwe owawuhlonishwe uZeus. Umfowabo kankulunkulu uZeus, iHayidesi ukhetha ukujezisa wonke umuntu ngenxa yokwedelelwa kwabantu base-Argos futhi uyabaqothula, kuhlanganise nabazali abamukela uPerseus njengosana. IHayidese ibonakala phambi kwazo zonke izakhamuzi zomuzi wase-Argos, ukuze ibaxwayise ngokuthi ekusithekeni kwelanga okulandelayo, idemoni lalizofika lizobhubhisa umuzi futhi liziphindiselele ngenxa yamacala.
Ukuze bazisindise kwakudingeka banikele endodakazini yenkosi yase-Argos, u-Andromeda.

Echaza ukuthi ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemithandazo konkulunkulu, onkulunkulu babeba buthaka e-Olympus. Lokhu kwakuyoba nemiphumela, ukukhulula izidalwa namademoni ayevalelwe; lapho uPerseus enqaba uZeus, emtshela ukuthi akanandaba nokumsiza.
Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, isidalwa esibizwa ngokuthi iChimera sihlasela idolobha lapho uPerseus ehlala khona, iqhawe kwadingeka lilwe nesidalwa ukuze lisindise abantu balo. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, uPerseus uyakhuluma noyise uZeus ukuze amukele isiphakamiso sakhe futhi amsize ngesicelo sakhe.

Ukudweba
Phakathi kokubonakaliswa kobuciko kwamafutha ku-canvas, izinkuni noma i-canvas kukhona imisebenzi elandelayo, lapho abaculi abaningi bethola khona ugqozi ngomlingiswa wezinganekwane zamaGreki uPerseus, lezi yizi:

Umlaza wePerseus
Enyakatho nenkabazwe, iqhawe uPerseus uzithola esesibhakabhakeni ikakhulukazi ngenkathi yasebusika. Ngomcabango omncane, ungabona umdwebo womuntu osezinkanyezini, lena inebala elimise okonxantathu, enezitho nezinyawo ezimbili ezingezansi okungathi zitshekele ngasekhanda; kukhona nezitho ezimbili ezingenhla ezidlala ngaphandle, okungenzeka ziphethe uhlobo oluthile lwesikhali noma ikhanda likaMedusa.
U-Algol uyinkanyezi edume kakhulu ePerseus, ebuka isithombe, i-Algol "inkanyezi emhlophe" emlenzeni wesokudla. Ngesi-Arabhu, igama elithi Algol lisho "ikhanda ledemoni", okuholela ososayensi abaningi ukuba bakholelwe ukuthi inkanyezi imele iso likaMedusa.
Okwenza lesi sihlabani sikhetheke ukuthi siyacwayiza! I-Algol iwuhlobo olukhethekile lwenkanyezi kanambambili, enenkanyezi efiphele ezungeza inkanyezi ekhanyayo. Lapho inkanyezi emnyama inqamula phambi kwenye, amandla ka-Algol ayancipha, anikeze inkanyezi ebenyezelayo! I-Perseus itholakala eduze kwe-Milky Way, ngakho igcwele izinto ezijulile zasezulwini.
