Editing Perseus (section)

===''Suda''===
According to the ''[[Suda]]'', Perseus, after he married Andromeda, founded a city and called it Amandra (Ἄμανδραν). In the city there was a [[stele]] depicting the Gorgon. The city later changed the name to [[Ikonion]] because it had the depiction (ἀπεικόνισμα) of the Gorgon. Then he fought the [[Isaurians]] and the [[Cilicians]] and founded the city of [[Tarsus, Mersin|Tarsus]] because an oracle told him to found a city in the place where after the victory, the flat (ταρσός) of his foot will touch the earth while he is dismounting from his horse. Then he conquered the [[Medes]] and changed the name of the country to Persia. At Persia, he taught the [[magi]] about the Gorgon and, when a fireball fell from the sky, he took the fire and gave it to the people to guard and revere it.
Later, during a war, he tried to use Medusa's head again, but because he was old and could not see well, the head did not work. Because he thought that it was useless, he turned it toward himself and he died. Later his son Merros (Μέρρος) burned the head.<ref>[[Suda|Suida]], s.v.
