- Which mythical creature must Perseus defeat to save Argos?

The climactic threat in the film is the Kraken, an enormous sea monster unleashed by Hades. Perseus must confront and defeat it to prevent the destruction of Argos, fulfilling his heroic destiny.
- Who plays Zeus, king of the gods, in the film?
Correct Answer: Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson commands the role of Zeus with booming authority. His famous line, “Release the Kraken!”, became a cultural meme, and his portrayal brings both nobility and conflict to the father of gods and men.
- What is the name of Perseus’s father in the film?
Correct Answer: Zeus
Perseus is the son of Zeus, making him a demigod. In the story, Zeus fathers him with a mortal woman, which enrages King Acrisius — her husband — and sets the events of Perseus’s journey in motion.
- What is Perseus’s primary weapon against Medusa?
Correct Answer: A mirrored shield
To defeat Medusa without turning to stone, Perseus uses a reflective shield to see her indirectly. He ultimately beheads her, using her gaze as a weapon later in the film — particularly to defeat the Kraken.
- Which god is the main antagonist in the film?
Correct Answer: Hades
Ralph Fiennes portrays Hades, god of the underworld, who schemes to overthrow Zeus and feed on mortal fear. Unlike the traditional depiction, this version of Hades is a darker, more sinister force working in secret to unleash the Kraken and gain power.
- What is released to destroy Argos?
Correct Answer: The Kraken
As punishment for the people of Argos defying the gods, Hades convinces Zeus to release the Kraken — a monstrous titan capable of wiping out the entire city. The creature becomes the ultimate test of Perseus’s strength and destiny.
- What magical creature helps Perseus on his journey?
Correct Answer: Pegasus
Pegasus, the winged horse, assists Perseus during the final leg of his journey. Unlike in classical myth, where Pegasus is born from Medusa’s blood, this version shows Pegasus as a loyal companion gifted by the gods.
- Why do the people of Argos rebel against the gods?
Correct Answer: They feel abandoned and oppressed
The mortals of Argos grow resentful of the gods, rejecting their worship and tearing down their statues. Their rebellion stems from the suffering they endure and the perceived absence of divine justice, provoking divine retribution.
- What happens to Perseus at the end of the film?
Correct Answer: He refuses godhood and chooses a mortal life
After saving Argos and defeating the Kraken, Perseus is offered a place among the gods by Zeus. He declines, choosing instead to remain mortal and live among humans. This choice reinforces his humility and heroism.
