Perseus Quest By Greek Analysis

Superior Essays
Title of Story: Perseus’ Quest
Strength: It is a clear and concise title, easy to understand and comprehend what the game will be about.
Weakness: It might not invite the player’s curiosity at first.
Enhancement: The title could be, instead of Perseus’ Quest, something that triggers curiosity and calls the attention, such as Perseus’ Odyssey or Medusas’ Huntsman. Genre: The genre is missing/not on the document
Strength: N/A.
Weakness: N/A.
Enhancement: I assume that it would be action/adventure with some puzzles in between the quests, in order to keep on moving on the storyline. Theme: Perseverance
Strength: It is one of the hardest things to learn and be able to endure in anyone’s life; and this as a theme suits perfectly with the story

More information about the journey that Perseus has to go through and the events that get in between, will be of great help to understand the story in more depth. Something that also shows Perseus personality and inner conflict could also be of advantage. Characters:
Name: Perseus.
Strength: His goal is clear and may show a lot of bravery and toughness in his own personality. Perseus would be considered of a “low category” due to his occupation, which is a fisherman – however, his condition of being a demi-god and the fact that now later on he has an important task to accomplish, shows that anyone is capable of have a noble life and achieve significant goals.
Weakness: There is no physical characteristics described on the document. In his personality, although being positive and having a clear mind of moving forwards; there must be some inner conflict or outside conflict with his own relationships.
Enhancement: He is a demi-god and has been working as a fisherman until then. How wasn’t he be able to realize he was a demi-god? Why didn’t his father told him what happened to his mother? Shouldn’t he demand something in exchange for being a demi-god and have to save the princess and the city? He has to present more conflict and have a contradicting

Some kind of “stamina goal” could be set before battling Medusa. As a mini boss, Cetus, the sea monster creature that guards Andromeda, could be added – or could be even defeated by Andromeda herself when Perseus is in danger of failing, and stamina would be still won from the confrontation. ‘Acquire more provisions to last until you reach the Gorgon lair’
Strength: Another element that challenges the player to be alert of. It even can give the possibility of dying before accomplishing the hero’s quest and starting the level all over again.
Weakness: Maybe going back and forth from the point where the hero finds himself and the city Argos would become an obstacle.
Enhancement: Suggest another strategy that could help to overcome the challenge. Maybe he could get the help of Athena, the goddess that made him be aware of Medusa’s power. ‘Scavenge for scorpion venom to coat your weapons with, possibly, to weaken your future foe, Medusa’
Strength: It would impulse the player to kill scorpions in order to obtain the substance.
Weakness: The only way to get venom is through scorpions, maybe snakes could be added to the list – since Medusa has snakes as her

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    Most Greek Heroes are known to be very conceited. Some of them use their abilities as an advantage. For example, Zeus knows that he is the ruler of everything, if he wants to have a baby by a human(which he has done) he will do it just because he is the ruler of everything. No one will disrespect him or say no to his because of who he is as a Greek Hero. Perseus was known for cutting off Medusa’s head and using it was a weapon towards others.…

    Another heroic trait is his stern conviction, his ability to remain faithful in his beliefs even in time of skepticism, which Homer portrays through Odysseus’s piety. Another category Odysseus exhibits is his quick thinking. While trapped in the cave of the Kyklops, he quickly uses his resource of wine to intoxicate the giant and knock him out which results in lives saved. Also, he makes a hasty decision to tie up his crew members to their rowing boards so they aren’t memorized to stay on the Land of the Lotus Eaters. His last example of his cunning is his ability to deceive others into thinking he is someone he is not.…

    In The Odyssey, one important idea that is communicated is perseverance. Closely entwined with patience, perseverance is the act of getting back up on your feet after an emotional, or physical disaster. The Odyssey teaches that you have to keep going even when your plan gets destroyed, to never stop. If Odysseus did not have perseverance, would he have kept going after his crew released the air bag or ate the sacred cattle? Would he have pushed forward when Polyphemus the giant trapped him and his crew in a cave, or when Calypso made him stay on her island for 7 long years?…

    In order to accomplish a long, exorbitantly difficult journey, there must be a source of motivation, or something to push the character through during the tough times. Odysseus and Perseus have very contrasting sources of motivation. When Odysseus visited the blind prophet Tiresias to tell him what his future held, Tiresias knew that Odysseus ' motivation was his family and home in Ithaca. " Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek" (line 632-633).…
