Fragment of the Myth of the Golden Fleece
Translation:

Then Perseus came across Ichios, who had been turned into stone. He spoke to his companions and said, "Beware of the Medusa. He who looks into their eyes is doomed to the same fate as that which befell poor Ichios and will never more set eyes on Seriphos." "Must we go blindfolded?" asked Ymelops. "Take up your bronze shields and polish them until they flash in the sun," answered Perseus. "Fill your hearts with courage. May Artemis guide us as though we were an arrow from her quiver".
But Ymelops was not satisfied. "Why do that, Perseus? Is three inches of sharpened metal not enough to destroy these accursed creatures?" The Perseus drew his sword, which shone and glittered in the sun, and with it he dazzled Ymelops. "Now what can you see?" The companions of Zeus' son laughed. "Let us set to work, so that out shields may shine like mirrors."

Alone in the Dark
In 1924, Jeremy Hartwood, a noted artist and owner of the Louisiana mansion Derceto (named after the Syrian deity), has committed suicide by hanging himself. His death appears suspicious yet seems to surprise nobody, for Derceto is widely reputed to be haunted by an evil power. The case is quickly dealt with by the police and soon forgotten by the public. The player assumes the role of either Edward Carnby—a private investigator who is sent to find a piano in the loft for an antique dealer—or Emily Hartwood, Jeremy's niece, who is also interested in finding the piano because she believes a secret drawer in it has a note in which Jeremy explains his suicide. Whether Carnby or Hartwood, the character goes to the mansion to investigate.
