Nathaniel Hawthorne
Long before Perseus became one of Greece's greatest heroes, there was a prophecy, a king consumed by fear, and a monster whose gaze could turn the strongest warrior to stone. In The Gorgon's Head, Nathaniel Hawthorne breathes new life into one of the most enduring legends of Greek mythology. Follow Perseus on his perilous quest as he receives divine gifts from the gods, outwits mysterious beings, and journeys to confront the terrifying Medusa.
Along the way, courage, wisdom, and compassion prove just as powerful as sword and shield. Originally published in 1851 as part of A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys, Hawthorne's celebrated retelling preserves the wonder and adventure of the ancient myth while presenting it with graceful prose and timeless storytelling. His adaptation captures the magic of the classical world, making one of mythology's greatest tales as captivating today as it was more than a century and a half ago.
Whether discovered for the first time or revisited as a timeless classic, The Gorgon's Head remains an unforgettable tale of heroic destiny, divine intervention, and the triumph of courage over impossible odds.
