What was given to Perseus and Theseus to kill the monster?

Perseus received a reflective shield from Athena, which he used to avoid directly looking at the Gorgon Medusa while beheading her. Additionally, he was given a magical sWord from Hermes to aid in his quest. Theseus, on the other hand, was provided with a ball of thread by Ariadne, which he used to navigate the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur. Both heroes were equipped with divine gifts to help them overcome their monstrous foes.
