Quotes 

• Zeus : Perseus has won. My son has triumphed.

  Hera : A fortunate young man.

  Zeus : Fortune is ally to the brave.

  Thetis : What a dangerous precedent. What if there more heroes like him? What if courage and imagination became everyday mortal qualities? What will become of us?

  Zeus : We would no longer be needed. But, for the moment, there is sufficient cowardice, sloth and mendacity down there on Earth to last forever.

• [discussing Zeus' womanizing] 

  Thetis : So many women, and all these transformations and disguises he invents in order to seduce them. Sometimes a shower of gold, sometimes a bull or a swan. Why, once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.

  Hera : Did he succeed?

  Thetis : Certainly not.

  Athena : What did you do?

  Thetis : Beat him at his own game. I simply turned myself into a shark.
