That she is the daughter of a frightened king, the lover of the chief god, the mother of a great hero and the originator of the Latin culture of modern Rome is the story of Danaë.

Specifically, Argive Princess Danaë is the only child of frightened King Acrisius. Her father imprisons her in the hope of keeping her from having a son who is prophesied to grow up and kill his famous grandfather. Danaë nevertheless has a love child, the subsequent hero Perseus, with Zeus the chief god. She and Perseus escape even though her father locks them in a chest and tries to drown them. She becomes the founder of the ancient city of Ardea, in the Latium province of central-west Italy where the area now is taken up by the city and province of modern Rome.

Is Actress Dana Barron dead is Dana Barron deceased?

No Dana Barron is not gay. It only seems that way to the outside observer.You're thinking of Jeff Fiorentino the guitarist who she allegedly walked in on participating in a gay act with a male friend of hers. The jury is still out on both of them, but I would bet that if this story is true Dana Barron isn't gay. Neither Jeff or Dana have confirmed or denied this story at the time of this answer. Could go either way I guess.
