The single sentences that change everything...Book V

Book V:

Perseus using Medusa's head to complete his battle
Perseus and Phineas: Here is where blockbuster makes their money. "300" anyone? Its a gory, gruesome battle tale. 'Nuff said.

Polydectes: It would seem by now Medusa has done her work. Believers, and in this case, skeptics, alike will be turned to stone from her 'death stare'. Maybe this is what men today are afraid of when they get "the look" from a disapproving female!

Pegasus: The winged horse was born from Medusa's blood and Minerva is a happy and awe-struck woman when she rests her eyes on the steed. (I made my parents rewind the part of the old Paramount Pictures when the winged horse would come running through the clouds multiple times before we could watch the movie!)

Pyrenus: This fellow is rather interesting in the way that his evil character sets the stage for many fairy tales. He welcomes visitors and once they enter he hopes they will never leave, once they do, he has a breakdown and commits suicide. His character reminds me of the nasty witch from Hansel and Gretal.


Ceres and Proserpina: "To ask is not to rape." Pluto is struck by Cupid's arrow and rushes to take away Propserpina. Ceres, heartbroken, searches high and low for her daughter, she created drought until it is decided that she will have split custody of her father and husband.
