The Myth of Perseus

Today’s Morrow House assembly featured a re-telling of the myth of Perseus, who in Greek mythology was the son of Zeus and Danae. He killed the Gorgon, Medusa, and also rescued the Princess Andromeda as she was about to be sacrificed to a sea monster. The version was humorous and filled with anachronisms. The play was directed by Rebecca Gove and Alyssa Connolly, Latin teachers, and starred 7th graders enrolled in the elective Mythology course.
