perseus
Bk IV:604-662 Perseus and Atlas
To Perseus, he said 'Go far away, lest the glory of the deeds that you lie about fail you!' He added weight to his threats, and tried to push him away with his great hands. Perseus delaying resolutely, and combining that with calm words said, 'Well now, since you show me so little kindness, accept a gift' and turning away himself, he held out Medusa’s foul head. Atlas became a mountain, as huge as he himself had been.
