Perseus was asked by King Polydectes to kill Medusa.
Correction. King Polydectes had proposed a "fake" marriage to rid of Perseus so he could marry Perseus's mother. He asked all the men on the island to contribute a gift, Perseus couldn't give anything because the king had taken him and his mother in, so Perseus said he would kill Medusa and bring the head back as a gift and payback for what the king had done for him.
