History
1981 movie
The helmet of invisibility was a magical item of Hades. Hades gave the helmet to Perseus, to help him on his quest to retrieve Medusa's Head and kill the Kraken. However, Hades was under the orders of Zeus. Perseus used it to sneak into Andromeda's room where he witnessed her spirit being taken away by a giant vulture. He then uses it again the next night but follows the vulture to Calibos' Lair. There, he witnesses Calibos giving Andromeda's Spirit a new riddle. In the end, Calibos figures out that Perseus is there and attacks him, but Perseus manages to escape. However, The Helmet of Invisibility then falls into the swamp and vanishes forever. Because of this, Zeus orders Athena to give Perseus her owl, but she denies and tells Hephaestus to make a mechanical version.
