About this story
珀尔修斯斩杀美杜莎的故事,记载最完整的是公元 1 至 2 世纪成书的阿波罗多洛斯《书库》第二卷,奥维德的《变形记》第四、五卷也讲到过。国王波吕得克忒斯设宴逼礼、格赖埃三姐妹共用一只眼睛和一颗牙、仙女赠送飞鞋口袋和隐身帽、赫尔墨斯送弯刀、雅典娜扶着他的手让他看着铜盾里的影子出手,这些情节都来自古代文献。这一版把搏斗写得点到为止,略去了他在回程中解救公主安德洛墨达的一段。

Tips for telling it
- 格赖埃三姐妹丢眼睛那段可以演得夸张一点,让孩子来当“抢眼睛”的珀尔修斯。
- 可以拿一面小镜子,让孩子只看镜子往后退着走几步,体会一下珀尔修斯有多难。
- 想接着讲,可以讲他在回程中救下公主安德洛墨达的故事,出处同样是《书库》和《变形记》。
Questions people ask
- 珀尔修斯是怎么打败美杜莎的?
- 他趁戈耳工三姐妹睡着时,不直接看美杜莎,而是看着铜盾里的倒影,在雅典娜的引导下用赫尔墨斯给的弯刀砍下了她的头,装进仙女给的口袋,再戴上冥王的隐身帽,躲开了她的两个姐姐。
- 美杜莎的头后来怎么样了?
- 珀尔修斯先用它把逼迫母亲的国王波吕得克忒斯变成了石头,然后把它献给了雅典娜。按阿波罗多洛斯的说法,雅典娜把它嵌在了自己的盾牌正中。
- 飞马珀伽索斯是从哪里来的?
- 按《书库》和《变形记》的说法,珀尔修斯斩下美杜莎的头时,飞马珀伽索斯从她身上跃了出来,它的父亲是海神波塞冬。后来,英雄柏勒洛丰骑着它打败了怪物喀迈拉。
