Traditional literature

In my class we are learning about traditional literature the categories are myths, tall tales, legends, fables, and folktales. I chose to write about a myth called Perseus and Medusa. The topic is the evil king gives Perseus a mission that seems to be impossible so the evil king can force Perseus`s mother to marry him. Perseus must use his mind and his strength to save his mother. pattern of events is Perseus used a step-by-step proses to complete his mission. First he got the shield of Athena. Next he got the sickle from Hermes.  He uses the shield to find the head and the sickle to remove it. and brings the head to the king who turns to stone. The theme is Perseus uses his mind to use the shield as a mirror to kill Medusa and defeat the king. That is what I am learning.
