The Andromeda Rescue

During his journey and after killing the gorgon, Medusa, Perseus saw a naked Andromeda chained to a rock as an offering to this monstrous creature. He immediately fell in love with her and vowed to destroy the creature. Perseus performed this task and freed Andromeda, then married her. In one revelation, Perseus plunged his sword into the creature's back while in another, he used the Medusa's head to turn it into stone.

The same Mycenae that would eventually be home to the Atreid dynasty and the throne of the ruthless Agamemnon. For those who do not know Greek mythology well, Agamemnon was the Mycenaean Greek monarch who led a thousand ships to Troy, where the Trojan War was fought, which lasted a decade, approximately 1200 BC.
