My main man Perseus
Also, Katie rules all
Acrisius was killed in Larissa, by Perseus. As it was foretold by an oracle that Acrisius's daughter Danae, would have a child that would one day kill him - who turned out to be Perseus
Perseus. He accidentally threw a discus that killed Acrisius, Danae's father.
Do you think the oracle’s prophecy to Acrisius will come true? Why or why not?
The dreadful oracle delivered to King Acrisius of Argos foretold that he would be killed by his own grandson. To prevent this prophecy from coming true, Acrisius imprisoned his daughter, Danaë, in a bronze chamber. However, Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, and she became pregnant with Perseus, the very grandson Acrisius sought to avoid. This prophecy ultimately led to tragic events in their lives.
YES! He tried to kill his family! Then again, lots of greek people did stuff to avoid being killed...
easy one ! :) Acrisius' grandson was sent out to kill him unless he killed his daughter. But the gods would punish you if you killed family.

King Acrisius daughter was called Danae
No, Perseus' mother was Danaë, who was the only child of Acrisius, King of Argos. According to a prophecy, Acrisius was supposed to be killed by his daughter's son. To prevent this, Acrisius kept Danaë locked up in his palace, but one day Zeus came to her in the form of a shower of gold, and impregnated her. A few months later, she gave birth to their son, Perseus.
King Acrisius of Argos received a dire prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi, stating that he would be killed by his grandson. To prevent this fate, Acrisius imprisoned his daughter, Danaë, to prevent her from bearing children. However, Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, resulting in the birth of Perseus, ultimately fulfilling the oracle's prophecy.
Zeus helped Danae by transforming into a golden shower and visiting her while she was imprisoned in a bronze chamber by her father, King Acrisius. This was done to fulfill a prophecy that Acrisius would be killed by his grandson. As a result of this union, Danae became pregnant and eventually gave birth to Perseus, who would later fulfill the prophecy by inadvertently killing Acrisius.
King Acrisius died when his grandson Perseus accidentally hit him with a discus.
