Perseus and Phineas

     Not sure if we were supposed to only do book I... or just something that piqued our interest.  I read mostly book IV over the weekend and enjoyed the tale of Perseus and Phineas.  This story was bloody and violent, along with the confusion of the many names that were slayed.  I actually enjoyed the moment when Perseus pulled out Medusa's head to stop the chaos.  What was really curious, was why Phineas would even dare attack someone that had slain so many monsters (Perseus) and then constantly retreat?  If you have the cajones to stand up and threaten a powerful person, you better have the physical evidence to back yourself up.  I suppose there is always a fool in the bunch.
