Perseus and Atlas

The Perseus stories begin in Book IV at around page 133 of Ovid's Metamorphosis.

Perseus was the son of Danae and technically the son of Jove. In the myth, however, Jove helped conceive Perseus by way of a golden shower. Of course. Perseus was blessed with the task of flying around the world via wings carrying the head of Medusa. He eventually scared Atlas the giant into a mountain:

At that, he turned his back to Atlas--and held up Medusa's head with his left hand. Great Atlas now became a mountain mass as huge as he had been; his beard, his hair were changed to woods; his shoulders and his arms, to ridges; what had been his head was now a mountaintop; his bones were changed to stones. That done, in all his parts his form grew still more huge--such was your will, o gods; his head supported all of heaven and its stars.

....And that's how mountains were formed. It's interesting to think of a man transforming into a mountain. Which parts represent his legs? Where is the 'eye' of the mountain?

Perseus went on to wrap Medusa's head in seaweed, turn it to rock, and cast it into the ocean. This was the creation story for coral.

The dude kicked some major ass AND got the girl Andromeda in the end. How is there not a movie based off of this character? He should at LEAST have a mediocre cartoon based after him. I didn't see Clash of The Titans, was this story in there?
