Another way Perseus is lobotomized in that Andromeda retelling is with the Cyclopes, in mythology he was the one to hire them to build his cities walls but in this retelling the credit is given to Andromeda instead. Bc Perseus needs to be characterized as a close minded oaf who can’t possibly be smart or diplomatic enough to get Cyclopes to chose to work for him.
