horses, comes to drink.

Listen!

Look there!

- I see nothing.

- Over there!

Pegasus!

That's it, that's it. Easy, easy.

Whoa, easy.

Easy!

That's it.

Steady, steady.

That's it, that's it, that's it!

Good boy, good boy.

The most beautiful stallion

in the world. But thirsty.

I'm not surprised.

I could do with something myself.

- Here. Stay with him.

- Oh.

Pegasus.

You're beautiful. Now don't you fret.

Your friend will be back in a moment.

- Slow, slow.

- Pegasus.

- We did it!

- No, you did it. You did it!

A gift for you.

Calibos, why have you summoned

me here again?

Because if I cannot look upon

your true beauty...

...I can see its mirror,

and remember how you once...

...loved me.

Remember me how I was.

I remember, but now....

Then it is time for you to learn a new

mystery, a new question!

No, I beg you. No more bonfires.

Mark well, Andromeda.

A new question...

...for a would-be hero.

Mark, and remember.

When the time comes...

...when the next suitor

presents himself...

...you will remember.

Calibos, I implore you...

...lift your curse from Joppa

and release my soul.

Show pity, Calibos.

As you loved me once...

...be merciful now.

Go.

Pegasus!

Once again I, Cassiopeia, the queen...

...present to you my daughter,

Andromeda.

If there is any man here worthy

to seek her hand in marriage...

...let him make himself known!

Is there no one?

No man worthy in my whole

wide kingdom of Phoenicia?

No man of courage in the whole world?

Who are you?

Perseus, prince and heir

to the kingdom of Argos.

You!

You know him?

Only...

...from a dream.

I beg you, abandon me.

Ask your riddle.

In my mind's eyes I see...

...three circles joined in priceless,

graceful harmony.

Two full as the moon.

One hollow as a crown.

Two from the sea, five fathoms down.

One from the earth,

deep under the ground.

The whole, a mark of high renown.

Tell me, what can it be?

Have courage, princess.

What can it be?

Three circles joined.

Two moons and a crown.

- Tell me!

- The answer is a ring!

Two pearls in a circle of gold!

The ring of the Lord of the Marsh.

The pearl ring of Calibos.

Here, on the claw hand

of Calibos himself!

The ring. A gift from his mother...

...the goddess Thetis.

Is that the answer?

Is that the answer? Tell me!

Yes.

We fought in the swamp!

I spared his life on one condition.

That he renounce his curse.

There will be no more bonfires.

No more nightmares.

Light has conquered darkness.

You're free.

Thetis, divine goddess of the sea.

Hear the prayer of your son Calibos.

Show me the way to justice.

Show me how to punish Perseus

for this blasphemy!

Look on this!

In wounding me...

Beverley Cross

Alan Beverley Cross (13 April 1931 – 20 March 1998) (known as Beverley Cross) was an English playwright, librettist and screenwriter.Born in London into a theatrical family, and educated at the Nautical College Pangbourne, Cross started off by writing children's plays in the 1950s. He achieved instant success with his first play, One More River, which dealt with a mutiny in which a crew puts its first officer on trial for manslaughter. The play premiered in 1958 at the New Shakespeare Theatre Liverpool, starring Robert Shaw, directed by Sam Wanamaker, and in 1959, still with Robert Shaw, directed by Guy Hamilton at the Duke Of York's Theatre in London. Cross' second play, Strip the Willow, was to make a star out of his future wife, Dame Maggie Smith, even though the play was staged only in the provinces, never receiving a London production. In 1962, he translated Marc Camoletti's classic farce Boeing Boeing, which went on to have a lengthy and highly lucrative run in the West End. In 1964, he directed the play in Sydney. Another of his successes was Half a Sixpence, a musical comedy based on the H.G. Wells novel Kipps. This opened in 1963 and, like his first play, ran in London for more than a year. He also wrote opera librettos for Richard Rodney Bennett (The Mines of Sulphur, All the King's Men and Victory) and Nicholas Maw (The Rising of the Moon). Cross later became well known for his screenplays, notably Jason and the Argonauts, The Long Ships, Genghis Khan, and Clash of the Titans. He also adapted Half a Sixpence for the screen. He also worked uncredited on the script for Lawrence of Arabia, although it is doubtful whether any of his material made it to the final edit. He died in London in 1998, three weeks and three days before his 67th birthday. He was the stepfather of Maggie Smith's children from her earlier marriage, actors Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin. more…
