What is the story of persues and Medusa?
Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae. Danae was locked up by her father to prevent her having a child because the child was prophesied to kill him. Zeus appeared to Danae as a golden shower and she had Perseus. Her father had them both thrown into a chest into the sea, they washed up on Seriphos. Perseus grew up there. The King of Seriphos fell in love with Danae but couldn't marry because Perseus was grown. The King summoned all his friends (inc. Perseus) and claimed he was to marry a girl called Hippodameia and asked everyone for a marriage offering. Perseus said he would not deny him even the Gorgon's head. The King asked for horses off his friends and asked Perseus for the Gorgon's head. Guided by Athene and Hermes, Perseus went to see the Gorgons' sisters: Enyo, Pephredo and Deino. They had been born old women and between them only had one eye and one tooth which they shared. Perseus took the eye and tooth. They asked for them back and in exchange they took him to the nymphs. These nymphs had possession of winged sandals, a kibisis (a wallet in which to put the head) and Hades helmet of invisibility. Hermes also gave him a sickle. He flew to the ocean and caught the Gorgons asleep: Stheno, Euryale and Medusa. Only Medusa was mortal. The gorgons had snakes coiled around their heads, large tusks like a swine's, hand of bronze, and wings of golds. Anyone who beheld them were turned to stone. Perseus used the reflection in his shield and Athene to guide his hand and cut off Medusa's head. From the body emerged Pegasus(the winged horse) and Chrysaor. Perseus put the head in the Kibisis and fled as the others woke. But they couldn't see him because of the helmet. On his return he flew over Ethiopia where the king's daughter Andromeda was tied to a rock as prey for a sea monster. Perseus fell in love with her and saved her, killing the monster and using the Gorgon's head to turn her other suitors to stone. When he returned to Seriphos he found his mother hiding at the altars to escape the kings advances. Perseus went to the palace and turn the king and his followers to stone with the head. He then returned the helmet, wallet and sandals to Hermes and gave the head to Athene who put it in the centre of her shield. Perseus, Danae and Andromeda then set off to see Danae's father who fled from his city in fear of the oracles prediction. Danae's father went to an athletic competition, Perseus went there to compete not knowing his grandfather was there. He threw his discuss and struck Danae's father killing him. He was to ashamed to return home and claim his inheritance so swapped his kingdom of Argos for that of Tiryns.

When was perseus born?
Perseus was born in a cage. the person above my post is dumb, PErseus was not born in a cage. Zeus Disguised himself as the king and got into the bed with the queen, and the king found out and cursed Zeus so the king sent the pregnant queen into a casket and sailed off into the ocean. The mother died but PErceus was still alive and was found by a fisherman. u guys are all stupid he was born in a cage when his mother had a baby with Zeus then she was put in a treasure trunk that drifted in the ocean and ended up on shore of an island and the kings brother found them and helped raise perseus and did u know the question was when it doesnt have a when its a myth No one knows when Perseus was born. And what happened was that King Acrisius was told by an oracle of Apollo that his daughter, Danae, would have a son who would kill him. He got angry at that so he locked her in a tower with only a small window. She was miserable and that's when Zeus came to her and he turned the cold dark tower into a sunny meadow. The King saw the light shining from the window and ordered his men to tear down a wall so he could get in. When he got in there sat Danae and a baby in her lap. "I named him Perseus" she said. The king got mad and locked them in a chest and cast them out to sea.
What is the myth of Medusu and Perseus?
Perseus, was the son of Zeus and Danae, who was the daughter of the king of Argos. The king, greedy of his power, feared that he would be overthrown, so he visited the oracle regularly. He was told that his own grandson would kill him and claim his throne. To prevent this, he locked his daughter in a tall tower and killed anyone who came to claim her hand. Zeus, seeing her plight, visited her as a shower of gold, and eventually impregnated her. Her father, fearing the prophecy, put her and her child in a cask and set them onto the sea to die. Poseidon took pity on them and placed them gently on the shores of Seriphos. The king of that land wanted Danae for himself, but she did not want him, and Perseus acted as her protector. SO to get rid of the meddlesome boy, Polydectes had a massive feast, inviting everyone, on the condition that they bring a horse. Since Perseus and his mother and foster father were fishermen, they had no horses to give, so the rash Perseus offered the king any gift he asked for. The king, wasting no time, asked for Perseus to deliver to him the head of the Gorgon, Medusa. With some help from his divine family, Perseus was able to slay the monstrous Medusa by using the mirrored back of the Aegis to see her with. Then he used Hades' Helm of Invisibility to escape from the remaining immortal Gorgons (Medusa was the only mortal). On his way home (using the winged sandals of Hermes), he saw a beautiful woman being sacrificed to the Cetus (a giant fish). Her name was Andromeda and she was being sacrificed because her mother, Cassiopeia, claimed she was more beautiful than the Nereids (inciting Poseidon's wrath). Perseus slew the monster and claimed Andromeda for his bride. Phineas, the man to whom Andromeda had previously been promised, challenged Perseus. The hero produced the head of the slain Gorgon and turned his challenger to stone. On his return to Seriphos, he discovered that Polydectes, the king, had taken his mother as a slave and was forcing her to work against her will. Polydectes was surprised that Perseus lived and refused to believe that he had accomplished his task. So Perseus produced the head of Medusa and turned Polydectes and his court into stone as well. He placed Dictys, the brother of the king, on the throne and he took Danae as his wife and consort. Perseus did eventually slay Acrisius, king of Argos, but he did not claim the throne. Instead he went on to found the kingdom of Mycenae, and he is considered by many to be the progenitor of the Classical Greeks. Many references to later Greeks called them "Danaans" after his mother Danae.
Whose death does Antigone refer to as being likened to her own?
Antigone likens her death sentence to that of Danae. Danae was the daughter of King Acrisius and Queen Eurydice of Argos. The king was warned that death would come to him by way of his own son. The king therefore had his daughter Danae imprisoned in a remote cave or bronze tower. But Zeus, the king of the gods, managed to get into Danae's bedroom by assuming the form of a golden rain. The resulting interaction led to the birth of the hero Perseus. When King Acrisius learned of the successful delivery of a male child, he had mother and son locked inside a wooden chest. The chest was put into the ocean. But Zeus didn't want the mother of his child, or the child, to be hurt or die. And so he convinced the sea god, Poseidon, to calm the waters and let the chest drift to safety.

What is the setting of the myth in 'Antigone'?
The Argos palace, an underground prison, a sea chest, and the Aegean island of Seriphos are the settings of the ancient Greek myth of Danae. Specifically, a prophecy that he would be killed by his own grandson led King Akrisios of Argos to lock his daughter, Princess Danae, in an underground bronze chamber. But the supreme god Zeus slithered in as a golden shower, and Danae gave birth to Perseus. Her father put her and her infant son adrift in a chest. But Danae and Perseus managed to reach the island of Seriphos. From there, Perseus forged a successful life that ultimately ended his grandfather's life and claimed his grandfather's throne.The ancient Edonian city of Amphipolis at the mouth of the Strymon River and Mt Pangaeum in northeastern Greece are the settings of the myth of Thracian King Lycurgus, son of Dryas (I) and victim of Dionysus. Specifically, Lycurgus opposed the establishment of the worship of the wine god Dionysus. He persecuted the god's followers. But in his zeal, he accidentally killed his own son, Dryas (II). Ultimately, Lycurgus was imprisoned on a remote rocky slope before being dismembered by wild horses.The ancient Thracian city of Salmydessus on the Black Sea is the setting of the myth of Thracian King Phineus, whose second wife Idaea killed his two sons by his first wife Cleopatra. Cleopatra was the daughter of Boreas, ancient Greek god of the north wind. Even though the son of the sea god Poseidon, Phineus ended up blind through the envious will of his uncle, chief god Zeus.
