At the wedding, Queen Cassiopeia compares Andromeda's beauty to that of Thetis herself, whereupon Thetis demands Andromeda be sacrificed to the Kraken on pain of Joppa's destruction. Calibos, finding that Thetis cannot act against Perseus, instead demands that she take vengeance on Joppa. Perseus wins Andromeda's hand in marriage.
Perseus presents himself as suitor and correctly answers the riddle, presenting the severed hand of Calibos - Calibos' ring is the answer to the riddle. Perseus is nearly killed by Calibos but escapes, losing his helmet in the process. Perseus, wearing a helmet that renders its wearer invisible, captures Pegasus and follows Andromeda to learn a new riddle from Calibos. In revenge, Thetis transports Perseus ( Harry Hamlin) from Seriphos to Joppa, where he learns that Andromeda cannot marry unless her suitor successfully answers a riddle, whose failures are burned at the stake.
To punish him, Zeus transforms Calibos into a satyr-like creature later exiled by his people.
Meanwhile, Danaë and Perseus safely float to the island of Seriphos, where Perseus grows to adulthood.Ĭalibos ( Neil McCarthy), son of the sea goddess Thetis ( Maggie Smith), is a young man engaged to marry Princess Andromeda ( Judi Bowker), the daughter of Queen Cassiopeia ( Sian Phillips) and heir to the rich city of Joppa but has destroyed diverse creatures including most of Zeus's flying horses (excepting Pegasus only ). In retribution, Zeus kills Acrisius and orders Poseidon ( Jack Gwillim), to release a Kraken to destroy Argos. When the god Zeus ( Laurence Olivier) impregnates her, Acrisius sends his daughter and his newborn grandson Perseus to sea in a wooden coffin. At the beginning of the film, King Acrisius of Argos ( Donald Houston) imprisons his daughter Danae ( Vida Taylor) to avert a prophecy that he would die if his daughter had a son.
