Prodigiosa mendacia uatum: Responses to the Marvellous in Ovid’s Narrative of Perseus (Metamorphoses 4–5)
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Perseus fell in love with Andromeda at first sight, but before saving her from an imminent death, he introduced himself to her parents, oddly enough boasting about three things: he was born from Jupiter turned into showers of gold, he killed the snake-haired monster Medusa, and he can even fly thanks to his wings.
