==Plot==
King Acrisius (David Kaye), the ruler of Argos hears from a prophetess that if his daughter, Danae (Christina Hendricks), bears a child, that child will one day grow up to kill him. To stop the prophecy from happening, he has her imprisoned in a tower. However, Zeus (Jim Cummings), ruler of the Greek gods, impregnates her, resulting in the birth of Perseus. Fearing that his grandson will one day kill him, Acrisius has both mother and child locked in a coffin and set out to sea, in the hope that they will be killed. Zeus, however, kills Acrisius and orders the sea god ,Poseidon (Scott McNeil), to free the last of the Titans, the Kraken, to lay waste to Argos. Meanwhile, Perseus and Danae miraculously survive and become washed up on the island of Seriphos, where Perseus grows into a young man.
Meanwhile, Calibos (Brad Swaile), a young man who is the son of sea goddess Thetis, (Majel Barrett-Roddenberry), is due to marry Princess Andromeda (Meghan Black), who is the daughter of Queen Cassiopeia, (Jane Seymour), and heir to the throne of the city of Joppa. However, he has killed off every living thing in the Wells of the Moon, which he was entrusted to guard, and hunted Zeus's herd of sacred winged horses, with the exception of Pegasus (Frank Welker). As punishment, Zeus has him transformed into a monstrous satyr and he is soon banished by his people. Out of revenge, Thetis has the adult Perseus (Kirby Morrow) transported to an abandoned amphitheater in Joppa where he encounters the elderly poet Ammon (Maurice LaMarche), who tells him that Andromeda is under a curse and is unable to marry unless her suitors can correctly answer a riddle; those who fail are killed.
To aid his son, Zeus sends Perseus with a helmet of invisibility belonging to Hades (Alessandro Juliani), the shield of Athena (Kathleen Barr) and a magical sword from Aphrodite (Tara Strong). Wearing the helmet, Perseus captures Pegasus successfully and follows Andromeda to learn the next riddle. Calibos nearly kills Perseus, but he manages to escape, but his helmet is lost. He also manages to cut off Calibos' hand. Perseus later befriends Thallo (Rob Paulsen), and presents himself as a suitor and correctly answers the riddle, showing Calibos' severed hand. This results in Perseus winning Andromeda's hand in marriage. Calibos soon discovers his mother cannot act against Perseus, instead demands that she take revenge on Joppa. At their wedding, when Cassiopeia compares her daughter's beauty to that of Thetis' herself, the enraged goddess arrives and demands that Andromeda be sacrificed to the Kraken, on pain of the destruction of Joppa.
While Perseus seeks to destroy the Kraken, Calibos' men capture Pegasus. Zeus commands Athena to give her owl Bubo to Perseus, however, she commands Hephaestus (Paul Dobson), the gods' blacksmith, to create a golden replica of Bubo instead, who leads Perseus to the Stygian Witches-or Grey Sisters-(Kathy Bates, Grey DeLisle and Susan Sheridan), a trio of grey-skinned hags with one eye and tooth between them. By taking these, he renders the sisters defenseless and-under threat that he will destroy them-they reveal that the only way to defeat the Kraken is with the head of Medusa (Venus Terzo), an evil Gorgon who resides on an island on the edge of the Underworld. The group precede on their journey the next day, minus Andromeda and Ammon, who return to Joppa.
