    The movie leaves out a few important characters that were told in Perseus’s original myth. Originally, Perseus set out on his quest for Medusa’s head in order to save his mother Danae from King Polydectes. In the movie however, they replace the importance of his mother with his lover Io, who he must save from the sea monster, the Kraken. Film makers know the importance of a love story in today’s movies, which is probably why they make this change. Also, the movie is given an obvious villain, which is where Hades is brought into it. With him being the easily identifiable evil character, that leaves no room for confusion. Perseus’s character is only given minor changes from the original myth to the movie, still portraying him as a brave and compassionate…

After reading the myth and watching the movie, it is easy to see that there are far more differences in the two works than similarities. These differences are not only in the way the story is told, but also in the organization of the events that take place and in the description of the characters. The main differences in these two versions include role of the characters, the main plot scheme, and the journey into the underworld.…

    So, after this Hades let Persephone leave but he gave her a pomegranate. When she ate the pomegranate seeds, she was bound to him for one third of the year, either the dry Mediterranean summer, when plant life is threatened by drought, or the autumn and winter. “When Persephone returned, Demeter was happy and cheerful, and she paid attention to the crops. It is then summer (or summer and half of spring and fall), and plants thrive. When Persephone, however, returns to the Underworld for four (or six) months each year, Demeter ignores all the crops, doing nothing but mourning Persephone's kidnapping. It is now winter (or winter and the other half of spring and fall).

I mean, people pass away all day, every day, so I will try to be brief. Firstly, there is a large amount of rumours about your appearance. Is it true that you have large wings? On many pictures and vases, you are portrayed as a ancient warrior with a helmet and beard, along with the wings mentioned before. Is that the truth ? If you have been depicted falsely, what is your true appearance, and why do authors and artists alike depict you in other ways?…

    In every interpretation of the original hymn, the seasons have to do with Persephone eating pomegranate seeds and being forced to return to the underworld for one third of the year. The difference is how she comes about eating the seed(s). In all three of the interpretations I found, Persephone accepts the pomegranate seeds and might look for more from Hades. I sincerely don’t understand why she would accept something from Hades at last second. Also, why did Hermes not make an attempt to stop her? Maybe this just shows the madness of mythology. Common sense is…
