Why did persueus go on the quest for medusas head?
The king of the land in which Perseus lived, Polydectes, held a festival at which he asked each person attending to being a horse, knowing that Perseus and his mother were poor and didn't have any horses. Upon arriving, Perseus apologized and offered the king any gift he wished, in replacement. Seeing his chance to be rid of Perseus (to gain access to his mother, Danaa), Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal Gorgon Medusa. The idea being that MEdusa had already killed countless heroes, and that Perseus would just be another statue.
What happens to polydectes in the myth medusas head?
To cut a long story short, Polydectes was turned to stone. But here's the full story: King Polydectes of Seriphos fell in love with Danae, mother of the Greek hero Perseus. However, Perseus was protective and wouldn't let Polydectes near her. Polydectes pretended he was going to marry a princess and ordered every man in his kingdom to supply him with a gift. Perseus couldn't afford a gift, and so pledged the King anything he wanted. Polydectes asked for the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus killed Medusa and returned with her head, but found Polydectes was threatening and abusing his mother Danae. Perseus snuck into the throne room, where he found Polydectes and his nobles. When they gazed upon Medusa's head, they were turned to stone.

The situational archetype of "the quest" is not represented in the story of Perseus. This is because Perseus' main goal is to kill Medusa and bring back her head, rather than embarking on a journey or quest with a specific objective.
