Therefore he announced that he was going to marry another woman, which meant that everyone would have to present him with a gift. But Polydectes regarded Perseus as a hindrance to his plans.
Thus Perseus grew to manhood in congenial circumstances.ĭanaë did not lose her beauty with the passing years, and Dictys' brother, the tyrannical king Polydectes, wished to make her his wife. The couple decided that they would care for Danaë and raise Perseus as if he were their own son, since they themselves were childless. Being a kindly person, Dictys took the forlorn Danaë and her infant son home to his wife. When Acrisius learned of this he hesitated to put them both directly to death, so instead he had his daughter and grandson sealed in a chest and cast adrift in the sea.Īt length the chest landed on the beach of an island, where it was found and opened by a fisherman named Dictys.

Greatly alarmed, the king had an underground chamber built, one with a skylight, and he imprisoned his daughter there in order that she might bear no children. Acrisius went to an oracle that informed him he would have no son, but that his own grandson would kill him. His only child was a lovely maiden, Danaë, but girls did not count for much then.
