Perseus and his new wife were at their wedding when some old suitor of hers bursts in and says that she's supposed to be his wife. Perseus refuses, and they begin to fight. Yet Phineus and his friends outnumber Perseus and his friends, so Perseus takes out the Gorgon's head and many, both friend and foe, turned to stone. Phineus pleads for justice, but Perseus turns him to stone as well.
I wish I was able to come up with all the metaphorical meanings for all the myths we've been reading, but I just can't. Apart from the usual staying in your place and not claiming what's not yours moral, and I have no idea what this myth means. Maybe that there's no such thing as "happily ever after" and nothing can be perfect...But that sounds sappy and clicheed.
