- Spyros: One day, somebody's gonna have to make a stand. One day, somebody's gonna have to say enough.

- Zeus: You may not want to be a god, Perseus, but after feats like yours, men will worship you. Be good to them. Be better than we were. And if you insist on continuing this mundane human existence, I won't have you do it alone. You're the son of Zeus, after all!
- Perseus: I know we're all afraid. But my father told me: someday, someone was gonna have take a stand. Someday, someone was gonna have to say enough! This could be that day. Trust your senses. And don't look this bitch in the eye.

- Io: The oldest story ever told are written in the stars. Stories of time before man and gods, when Titans ruled the earth. The Titans were powerful but their reign was ended by their own sons: Zeus, Poseiden, and Hades. Zeus convinced his brother Hades to create a beast so strong it could defeat their parents. And from his own flesh Hades gave birth to an unspeakable horror... the Kraken. Zeus became king of the heavens. Posieden, king of the sea. And Hades, tricked by Zeus, was left to rule the underworld in darkness and in misery. It was Zeus who created man and man's prayers fed the gods' immortality. But in time, mankind grew restless. They began to question the gods and, finally, rise up against them. Into this world, a child was born. A boy who would change everything.
- Solon: [Solon draws his bow and arrow in Medusa's lair, and notices a statue in exactly the same posture] Doesn't really inspire confidence.
- Hades: You are specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
- Perseus: My father was killed by a god. My mother, sister, everyone I loved was killed by a god. I mend nets. Not wield a sword.
- Hades: In 10 days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolish compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction of sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus.
- [turns his attention to Perseus]
- Hades: The will of your father.
- Young Perseus: This child will be yours. Me, I'm no one's son.
- Spyros: I am your father, Perseus. Marmara is your mother. And you will always be our son. The bond between us is... it's much more than flesh and bone. The love we have for you, it's that love that gods and kings fight over. I've never understood the gods. But even I don't question that you were saved for a reason. And some day... that reason is gonna take you far away from here. But not tonight, eh?
- Prokopion: Brothers and sisters, come to me! Come! I have the way out of our misery! Hades has asked for the princess! Sacrifice one, for the life of the city! Why do they remain silent, while we suffer? Why do they guard a woman whose death will save us? Is she better than anyone of you? We've long worshiped Zeus on Argos, but it is Hades who now offers a salvation! We must pray to the one, who showed us our sins! And who offers us redemption, through blood!
- Prokopion: The Kraken comes now! Our suffering ends, when the beast is sated. Will it take us? Or will it take Andromeda?
- Apollo: [to Zeus about the mortals] You'll just drive them further away! Chase any love from their hearts.
- Athena: [approaching as Apollo sits on Zeus's throne] Comfortable?
- Apollo: What are you doing here?
- Athena: Thinking... Our father is blinded by his anger. Trusting Hades with this power is a threat to all of us.
- Apollo: You tell him that. Just give me some warning so I can put some distance between us.
- Athena: If Hades is able to release the Kraken, it won't stop at Argos. All of humanity will fall... And then so will we.
- Apollo: We can't oppose Hades.
- Athena: But this Perseus is...
- Apollo: [raging] NO!... How can our existence depend on him?
- Athena: We'll have to do something.
