Perseus and his mother, Danae, were shipped to the island of Seriphos. After being cast out to sea in a wooden chest by Danae's father, King Acrisius, they were rescued by a fisherman named Dictys, who brought them to Seriphos. There, they lived under the protection of Dictys, while the island's king, Polydectes, became infatuated with Danae.

What is the legend of the Greek hero Perseus?

King Acrisicis received a prophecy from the oracle that his grandson would kill him, so he locked up his daughter, Danae. Zeus loved Danae, so they secretly got married. Danae soon had a son, Perseus. Danae ran away to an island with her son. A king of that island, Polydectes, wanted to marry Danae, but wanted to get rid of Perseus. He asked Perseus to kill the gorgon Medusa, and bring him the head. Perseus agreed. With the help of a few tools the gods gave him, Perseus cut off Medusa's head, which could turn people into stone. On the way back, he saved a princess named Andromeda, and married her. Medusa's head's stare killed Polydectes, and he, his mother, and Andromeda lived in peace for the rest of their lives, after King Acrisicis died when Perseus threw a discus by accident.
