"The Storyteller: Greek Myths" Perseus & the Gorgon (TV Episode 1991) - Brian Henson as The Dog

The Dog : Who were these other Gorgons? You never mentioned three Gorgons.

The Storyteller : If I told the whole story your head would burst. There is no one story, there are branches, rooms, like this place. Rooms, corridors, dead ends.
The Dog : [having found a statue of Medusa's head] That face, it's horrible. Where does it come from?

The Storyteller : A long way away on a rock at the edge of the world, lived a woman with terrible claws, wings of bronze and breath as foul as corpses. Her hair was a nest of poisiones snakes. Hissing, alive. Catch her stare, and she could turn you to stone. Her name was Medusa. The Gorgon. Imagine her looking away and then starting to turn towards you. Slowly... slowly...

Medusa : Shall we turn and look at them, sisters?
The Dog : Is that it? The cap of invicibility? Nice!

The Storyteller : It's dogskin.

The Dog : I don't believe you! That cap of dogskin? That's disgusting.

The Storyteller : Well, it is.

The Dog : Yuck!
The Dog : So the Oracle was wrong?

The Storyteller : What?

The Dog : Acrisius. The Oracle said Perseus would kill his grandfather and he didn't.

The Storyteller : I went to the Oracle once. Never ask. You never hear what you hope for.
The Dog : [hearing how Danaë was blessed to bear Perseus] Oh. So *that's* how it's done.
The Dog : Was it a boy? Did it kill its grandfather? Did it have a poisoned rattle or something?
The Dog : I don't know who I hate more: this Polydektes or the Gorgon.
