Perseus, the demigod son of mighty Zeus, the king of the gods, vows to take his revenge on Calibos, the terrifying King of the Marshes when he sees his mortal family and their fishing village perish. As the race of mortals summons up the courage to rebel against the tyrany of Calibos, the doomed city of Argos becomes a battlefield, as the mad-king wages war on the gods, the machinations of both his goddess-mother Hera and Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Olympus, disillusioned by Man, threatens to unleash the legendary Kraken, last of the dreaded titans upon the world, unless the fair Princess Andromeda willingly offers herself as a sacrifice. Now, having nothing more to lose, Perseus embarks on a daring, peril-laden quest to stop the forces of evil before the gods plunge the world into chaos and darkness. But, to survive the relentless onslaught of demons and terrible adversaries, Perseus must first embrace his destiny. Will Perseus defy the gods, and save humankind or will he crumble, another victim in this clash of the Titans?
