He was son of Danaë by Zeus. Danaë's father Acrisius had been told by an oracle that his daughter's son would kill him. To prevent this he had imprisoned her in a tower so that no man could reach her. But Zeus visited her in the form of a shower of gold and made her bear Perseus. On learning of the child's birth, Acrisius set mother and infant afloat in a chest. They drifted to Seriphus and were received by King Polydectes. When Perseus grew up, Polydectes sent him to fetch the head of Medusa. By the help of Athena, who gave him a magic sword, a pair of winged sandals, an invisible helmet, and a mirror-like shield in which he could view the monster safely, Perseus succeeded in the task. On his way back he rescued and married Andromeda. Back to Seriphus, he exposed the head of Medusa and turned the evil-intentioned Polydectes to stone. Later he went to Argos to visit his grandfather and, in the course of some games, accidentally struck him with a discus and killed him, thus fulfilling the prophecy.
