By using Medusa's head, Perseus turns the Kraken into stone. It crumbles into the sea, defeated. The 2010 Clash of the Titans film features a similar plot. Because of these movies, lots of people today think that the Kraken really was a sea monster from Greek mythology.
Despite technically being a member of the "good side" in some ways, Beckett stands up in comparison to many of his loyal soldiers due to his power-hungry and ruthless personality, ironically becoming even more dangerous than those he swore to destroy.

According to the Ancient Greeks, in the beginning, there was only Chaos — an infinite abyss or primordial void. In other words, there was basically nothing at first. And, contrary to Christian theology, the Ancient Greeks believed that it was the universe itself that created the gods, not the other way around.
