Clash of the Titans Essay

Clash of the Titans
Many years ago, Gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades have joined and destroyed their parents, the Titans, and who helped them was Kraken, a monster born by own Hades. Afterwards, the divided the world among themselves Zeus took the skies, Poseidon took the seas, and Hades was left with the Underworld upon being tricked by Zeus. Shortly after, Gods created the mortals, whose faith and prayers fueled the gods' immortality. As time passed, however, mortals began to question and soon resist their creators, angering the Olympians.
Many years after, a fisherman named Spyros finds a coffin adrift in the sea, discovering a baby, Perseus that was alive and his mother Dana that was died. Spyros and his wife, Marmara, raise Perseus as their own son, alongside their daughter, Tekla. Years after, Perseus grow up, and with his family was fishing when they watched soldiers from the city of Argos destroyed a statue of Zeus and declared war on the Gods. Infuriated at this desecration, the Gods unleash the Furies who attack the soldiers and destroy the fishing vessel. Only Perseus survives and is found by a group of the soldiers.
Hades threatens to unleash his monster the Kraken against Argos, unless Andromeda is offered as a sacrifice. Before leaving, he reveals that Perseus is a demigod and the son of Zeus.
Perseus, Io, Suleiman, Draco, and his remaining men, Solon, Eusebios, and Ixas, cross into the Underworld. The men enter Medusa's temple lair while Io, being a woman and forbidden from entering, remains outside. Medusa kills all three of Draco's men. Suleiman and Draco both wound the gorgons, sacrificing themselves in the process. Perseus finally beheads her by using his reflective shield to see her with his back turned. As he leaves the temple with Medusa's head, Calibos appears behind Io and fatally stabs her. Perseus and Calibos fight where upon finally accepting that he is a son of Zeus, Perseus picks up the Olympian sword and stabs Calibos through the chest, who with his last breath urges Perseus not to become a God.
Before dying, Io urges a reluctant Perseus to leave her and save Andromeda and Argos. Then she dissolves into a golden ethereal vapor. Pegasus appears and Perseus mounts the flying horse and hastens back to Argos as the Kraken is released. The people of Argos seize and bind Andromeda to offer her to the Kraken. Meanwhile, as people die in the Kraken's wake, the balance of power on Olympus shifts. Hades reveals he does not require the faith or worship of mortals (as Zeus does), as he has learned to survive on their fear. Hades then effortlessly subdues the weakened Zeus.
Perseus rescues Andromeda, who is now the rightful Queen of Argos. Andromeda asks Perseus to stay by her side as King, but he declines. Perseus also refuses another offer of godhood from Zeus, who then proclaims that if Perseus is to live as a human he should not be alone and revives Io.
