Which excerpt from "Perseus" best represents a characteristic of a Greek hero? [Andromeda] had boasted that she was more beautiful than the daughters of Nereus, the Sea-god. [Athena and Hermes] told him which one was Medusa and that was important, for she alone of the three could be killed; the other two were immortal. King Acrisius of Argos had only one child, a daughter, Danaë. She was beautiful above all the other women of the land. Polydectes evidently talked to Perseus about [Gorgons]; he probably told him that he would rather have the head of one of them than anything else in the world.

    The correct answer to this is:

    "[Athena and Hermes] told him which one was Medusa and that was important, for she alone of the three could be killed; the other two were immortal."

    This passage talks about the adventure of Perseus, the Greek hero, in his venture to kill the gorgon monster, Medusa. No ordinary man can kill Medusa because of her mystic power to turn everyone into a stone with a gaze.
