珀尔修斯的故事前半段～　　perseus was the son of zeus and danaë, who by her very name, was the archetype of all the danaans. she was the only child of acr**ius, king of argos. d**appointed by h** lack of luck in h**ing a son, acr**ius consulted the oracle at delphi, who warned him that he would one day be killed by h** daughter's son. danaë was childless and to keep her so, he impr**oned her in a bronze chamber open to the sky in the courtyard of h** palace: th** mytheme ** also connected to ares, oenopion, eurystheus, etc. zeus came to her in the form of a shower of gold, and impregnated her. soon after, their child was born; perseus — "perseus eurymedon, for h** mother g**e him th** name as well" (apollonius of rhodes, argonautica iv).　　fearful for h** future but unwilling to provoke the wrath of the gods by killing zeus's offspring and h** own daughter, acr**ius cast the two into the sea in a wooden chest. danaë's fearful prayer made while afloat in the darkness has been expressed by the poet simonides of ceos. mother and child washed ashore on the **land of seriphos, where they were taken in by the f**herman dictys ("f**hing net"), who ra**ed the boy to manhood. the brother of dictys was polydectes ("he who receives/welcomes many"), the king of the **land.　　overcoming the gorgon　　perseus with the head of medusa, by antonio canova, completed 1801 (vatican museums)　　after some time, polydectes fell in love with danaë, yet perseus, who knew that polydectes had grim intentions, constantly protected h** mother from him. polydectes desired to remove perseus from the **land so he could h**e danaë, so he therefore hatched a plot to send him away in d**grace. polydectes held a large banquet where each guest was expected to bring a gift.polydectes requested that the guests bring horses, under the pretense that he was collecting contributions for the hand of hippodamia, "tamer of horses". the f**herman's protégé had no horse to give, so asked polydectes to name the gift, for he would not refuse it. polydectes held perseus to h** rash prom**e, demanding the head of the only mortal gorgon, medusa, whose very expression turned people to stone. ovid's anecdotal embroidery of medusa's mortality tells that she had once been a woman, vain of her beautiful hair, who lay with poseidon in the temple of athena. in pun**hment for the desecration of her temple, athena changed medusa's hair into hideous snakes "that she may alarm her surpr**ed foes with terror".　　athena instructed perseus to find the hesperides, who were entrusted with weapons needed to defeat the gorgon. following athena's guidance, perseus sought out the graeae, s**ters of the gorgons, to demand the whereabouts of the hesperides, the nymphs tending hera's orchard. the graeae were three perpetually old women, who had to share one eye and one tooth among them. as the women passed the eye from one to the other, perseus snatched it from them, holding it ransom in return for the location of the nymphs. when the s**ters led him to the hesperides, he returned what he had taken.　　from the hesperides he received a knapsack kib**** to safely contain medusa's head. zeus g**e him an adamantine sword and hades' helm of inv**ibility to hide. hermes loaned perseus winged sandals to fly, while athena g**e him a pol**hed shield. perseus then proceeded to the gorgons' c**e.　　in the c**e he came upon the sleeping stheno, euryale and medusa. by viewing medusa's reflection in h** pol**hed shield, he safely approached and cut off her head. from her neck sprang pegasus ("he who sprang") and chrysaor ("bow of gold"), the result of poseidon and medusa's meeting. the other two gorgons pursued perseus, but under h** helmet of inv**ibility he escaped.　　marriage to andromeda　　perseus and andromeda.　　on the way back to seriphos **land, perseus stopped in the kingdom of ethiopia. th** mythical ethiopia was ruled by king cepheus and queen cassiopeia. cassiopeia, h**ing boasted herself equal in beauty to the nereids, drew down the vengeance of poseidon, who sent an inundation on the land and a sea serpent, cetus, which destroyed man and beast. the oracle of ammon announced that no relief would be found until the king exposed h** daughter andromeda to the monster, and so she was fastened to a rock on the shore. perseus slew the monster and, setting her free, claimed her in marriage.　　in the classical myth, he flew using the flying sandals. rena**sance europe and modern imagery has generated the idea that perseus flew mounted on pegasus (though not in the paintings by piero di cosimo and titian).　　perseus married andromeda in spite of phineus, to whom she had before been prom**ed. at the wedding a quarrel took place between the **, and phineus was turned to stone by the sight of the gorgon's head. andromeda ("queen of men") followed her hu**and to tiryns in argos, and became the ancestress of the family of the perseidae who ruled at tiryns through her son with perseus, perses. after her death she was placed by athena amongst the constellations in the northern sky, near perseus and cassiopeia. sophocles and euripides (and in more modern times pierre corneille) made the ep**ode of perseus and andromeda the subject of tragedies, and its incidents were represented in many ancient works of art.　　as perseus was flying in h** return above the sands of libya, according to apollonius of rhodes, the falling drops of medusa's blood created a race of toxic serpents, one of whom was to kill the argonaut mopsus. on returning to seriphos and d**covering that h** mother had to take refuge from the violent advances of polydectes, perseus killed him with medusa's head, and made h** brother dictys, consort of danaë, king. 20210311
