Perseus had no way of finding Medusa, who lived at the end of the world, so he asked the gods Athena and Hermes for help. They came to his aid because he was the son of Zeus, and bestowed upon him four powerful gifts. Among these gifts were winged sandals to carry Perseus to Medusa’s lair, a cap that would make Perseus invisible, a sword to kill Medusa, and a mirrored shield. The shield would allow Perseus to see Medusa’s face without looking directly at her, preventing him from being turned to stone. Athena advised Perseus to use his gifts wisely and to practice patience and logic in order to achieve his task.
