What is the reference to Perseus in 'Antigone'?
That his mother is walled up in an attempt to thwart divine will is the reason why Perseus is referenced in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus tells of Princess Danaë, whose father, Argive King Acrisios, is warned of a prophecy that he will be killed by his own daughter's son. Danaë is imprisoned, but Zeus the chief god manages to get in. Danaë's father then locks her and her newborn son, the subsequent hero Perseus, in a locked chest that is thrown into the sea. Mother and son are saved by Antigone's paternal ancestor, Poseidon the sea god.
