It's possible that the Perseus story is in a frame, I'd have to check closer.

One of the professors at my uni has a book all about their constant deliberate discontinuity. But seeing as how Ovid has become the canonical source for post-pagan depictions, it's still worth checking if it has an explanation in him.
