Did Medusa control the sea monster?
Original Answer: No, she didn't because she couldn't control a sea monster, and she isn't alive because Percy Jackson cut her head of in the first book (the lightning thief). Response: I really hate to flame, but Percy Jackson annoys me SO much. So to the person who made this message: PERCY JACKSON IS F-A-K-E! It's a STORY! Improved Answer: It was only a coincidence that Perseus had to fight Medusa and the sea monster simutaneously. The sea monster was sent by Posiedon to take Andromeda, a princess, away from a king who had defiled him. And even if Medusa had been able to control that sea monster, she had died before Perseus fought the sea monster. Comment: Hope that helps! =D ~Ethan

Perseus was attracted by Andromeda's beauty and made the king and queen promise that if he saved Andromeda that he could marry her as well.
