Zeus's son Perseus has no wedding gift for King Polydectes so he offers to bring the king what he most desires. King Polydectes asks for the head of the gorgon Medusa. A dangerous request, as whomever looks at Medusa turns to stone. Perseus gets a reflective shield from Athena and the helmet of invisibility, a sword, and winged sandals from Hermes to aid his quest. Will these tools be enough to conquer the gorgon?

While protecting egotistical transfer student Orion, Artemis makes a mistake that later provides her with the chance that she has both hoped for and dreaded, to prove her courage to herself and others at Mount Olympus Academy.

Persephone's mom encourages her to "go along to get along" instead of doing what she really wants, and Persephone follows her advice even when it makes her feel like a fake. But when she meets Mount Olympus Academy troublemaker Hades, she finally feels she has found someone she can be herself with. He's the first person who actually listens to her, and she finds herself liking him, despite the fact that the other goddess girls think he's bad news....

Athena learns that she is a goddess when she is summoned to Mount Olympus by her father, Zeus, and she must quickly adjust to her new status, make friends with the other godboys and goddessgirls, and catch up with all the studies she missed while attending mortal school.
