Perseus received his shield from Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare. She provided him with a reflective bronze shield to help him confront the Gorgon Medusa without looking directly at her, thus avoiding her petrifying gaze. The shield played a crucial role in his successful quest to slay Medusa and later in his adventures.
