Perseus, a hero in Greek mythology, is the son of Zeus. Acrisios, king of Argos, learned from God that he would be killed by the son of his daughter Danae, and imprisoned her in a copper tower. Zeus turned into golden rain and met Danae, giving birth to Perseus.
Perseus, also known as Perseus, is a hero in Greek mythology and the source of Perseus.
Perseus was the son of Zeus. After his birth, his grandfather Acrisius, the king of Argos, put Perseus and his mother Danae in a box and threw them into the sea: because the Oracle told the king that his grandson would seize his throne and murder him. Zeus blessed the mother and son who were drifting in the sea, guided the box through the wind and waves, and finally the box drifted all the way to the island of Celebes, near the coast. There were two brothers on the island, Dickens and prudictes, who ruled the island of Celebes. Diktis was fishing on the beach. When he saw a wooden box floating in the water, he immediately pulled it to the shore. When they returned home, the two brothers were very sympathetic to the abandoned victims and took them in.
Polydactes, the brother of diktis, fell in love with Perseus' beautiful mother Danae. He was intent on sending Perseus away so as not to undermine his good deeds and his mother's. Perseus had already seen through his face. At the banquet held by poluctetes, he offered to give poluctetes a gift, and poluctetes asked Gore to work on Medusa's head unkindly. The brave young man was ambitious and determined to cut off the head of Medusa, the Banshee.
Perseus packed up and set off on his way. The gods led him all the way to a distant place, where the terrible father of monsters, Fucus, lived. There Perseus met three daughters of fulkus: griet. They were born with white hair. The three of them only have one eye and one tooth. They use each other in turn. Perseus took their teeth and eyes. They demanded the return of their indispensable things. He made a condition for them to show the way to the fairy. These fairies all know magic and have several treasures: a pair of flying shoes, a magic bag, and a dog skin helmet. No matter who has these things, he can fly freely as he likes and see the person he wants to see, but others can't see him. The daughters of fulcus showed Perseus the way and got back his eyes and teeth.
To the fairy, Perseus got three treasures. He put on his bag, flying shoes and dog skin helmet. In addition, he received a bronze shield from Hermes. He armed himself with these gods and flew over to the other side of the sea. There lived three other daughters of fulkus, namely golgong. Medusa, the youngest of the three daughters, was a mortal child, and Perseus was ordered to take her head. Perseus found Gore's workers sleeping. Their heads were covered with scales, without hair, and they were coiled with poisonous snakes. They have the tusks of a boar, they have iron hands and golden wings. Anyone who sees them will turn to stone immediately. Perseus knew the secret. He turned his back and did not look at the sleeping women. Then he used the shining shield as a mirror to clearly see their three heads, and recognized who Medusa was. Athena also instructed him how to do it, so he smoothly cut off the head of the Banshee. Before Perseus put away his knife, suddenly a winged Pegasus jumped out of the Banshee's body, followed by a giant chrysaol. They were all descendants of Poseidon. Perseus carefully stuffed Medusa's head into the divine bag on his back and left there. At this time, Medusa's sisters sat up from the bed. When they saw their sister's body, they immediately spread their wings and flew into the air to pursue the murderer. But Perseus, wearing a fairy's dog skin helmet, escaped tracking and pursuit. However, he was also hit by a strong wind in the air and was blown to the left and right. When he swayed through the Libyan Desert, the little blood dripping from Medusa's head fell all the way to the ground and became poisonous snakes of various colors. Since then, there have been dangerous snakes in many parts of the world.
Perseus continued to fly westward, and finally landed on the land of King atlas, hoping to have a rest. There is a jungle here, with golden fruits on the trees and a giant dragon on the side. Perseus asked him to stay here for one night, but he didn't get permission. Because atlas was worried that his golden fruit would be stolen, he ruthlessly expelled Perseus from the palace. Perseus was very angry. He took Medusa's head out of the divine bag on the spot, but he turned his back and handed it to the king. The king was as tall as a giant. When he saw Medusa's head, he immediately changed into a huge stone, just like a mountain. His beard and hair became a vast forest, his shoulders, arms and legs became ridges, and his head became high peaks.
Perseus re tied his flying shoes, put on his helmet, and flew high with his God bag on his back. He flew all the way to the coast of Ethiopia, where King kephs ruled. Perseus saw a young girl bound on a rock standing in the middle of the sea. The sea breeze ruffled her hair, and the girl wept. Perseus was so moved by her youth and beauty that he greeted her. "Why are you tied up here? What's your name and where do you live?" The girl turned her back to her hands, and at first she was silent, afraid of talking to a stranger. If she can move, I really want to cover my face with my hands. In order not to mislead strangers into thinking that she had really done something shameful, she burst into tears, I replied: "My name is Andromeda and I am the daughter of King kephs of Ethiopia. My mother casiopea once boasted that I was more beautiful than the daughter of the sea god Nereus, that is, the sea nymphs. The sea nymphs were very angry. They had 50 sisters and asked the sea god to flood the whole country. The sea god also sent a monster to swallow everything on land. The Oracle declared that if you want to save the country, you must Throw me, the king's daughter, to the monster to feed. The people immediately made a uproar and asked my father to donate his daughter to save the country. In desperation, the king had to order me to be locked here. " Just after the girl finished speaking, the surging waves rolled in. A monster appeared in the sea, and its broad chest covered the whole water. As soon as the girl saw it, she was so scared that she let out a scream, and her parents came quickly. When they saw their daughter's disaster coming, they were extremely desperate, and their mother showed a painful look because of guilt. They held their daughter tightly, but they could do nothing to save her.
Then Perseus said: "If you want to cry, there will be plenty of time in the future; at present, the most urgent task is to save people. My name is Perseus, and I am the son of Zeus and Danae. I defeated Medusa. The wings of God let me fly high. If a girl is free and willing to choose a spouse, she will first look at me. But like her now, I will formally propose to her and go to rescue her. Are you willing to accept my terms?" The parents were glad to meet the Savior and nodded repeatedly. They not only promised to marry their daughter to him, but also promised to give him the kingdom as a dowry. While talking, the monster has swam over, and there is only a stone's throw left. Seeing this, the young man pushed up with his feet and took off. When the monster saw his figure cast on the sea, he chased it furiously, as if he realized that someone was going to snatch its prey. Perseus, like a vigorous eagle, swooped down from the air. He stabbed the monster's back with the sharp sword that killed Medusa, only the hilt of the sword was exposed. He pulled out his sword, and the monster jumped into the air with pain, and then sank to the bottom of the water, struggling frantically. Perseus stabbed it repeatedly until black blood gushed from its mouth. At this time, its wings were also wet, and he dared not stay in the air for a long time. Just as a rock appeared on the water, he flapped his wings and gently landed on the rock wall, and then stirred the monster's stomach three or four times with his sword. The waves carried his body away, and soon he disappeared from the sea. Perseus flew to the shore, climbed to the top of the mountain, untied the girl's chains, and handed her over to her unfortunate parents. He received a grand reception and became a distinguished guest and son-in-law in the court. Just as the wedding was being held happily, there was a sudden commotion in the front hall of the palace, and a dull roar came. It turned out that Phineus, the younger brother of King kephs, broke in with a group of warriors. He once pursued Andromeda, but abandoned her when she was in danger. Now he will reiterate his request. Phinus brandished a spear and burst into the wedding hall. He shouted at the surprised Perseus: "I'm here. You robbed my fiancee. I want revenge. Neither your treasure nor your father Zeus can protect you!" With this, he assumed a posture and prepared to throw the spear. Kephs stood up from the banquet and shouted, "you're crazy! It wasn't Perseus who robbed your fiancee. When we were forced to sacrifice her, you watched her tied up there. Why didn't you go to save her yourself, but stood by and watched?" Finius couldn't answer. He kept a close eye on his brother and rival, as if thinking which one to start with first. Finally, he threw his spear at Perseus with all his strength in madness. However, his eyesight was poor, and the spear plunged into the mat. Perseus jumped up and threw his javelin at the door. The javelin flew straight to Phineus. Had it not been for Phineus to jump behind the altar, the javelin would have penetrated his chest. Although Phineus escaped, one of his entourage was stabbed in the forehead, and the samurai all rushed up to fight with the guests at the wedding. There were many warriors who broke in and surrounded King Perseus, his wife and his new wife. Arrows, like locusts, came from all directions. Perseus backed on a pillar to parry the enemy, fought hard to stop them from advancing, and killed one enemy after another. Later, he saw that his courage alone was no longer effective, so he decided to take the last move. "I was forced to do nothing," he said. "I had to ask my former enemies to help me. Please turn away from my friends!" With that, he took Medusa's head out of the bag and stretched it out toward the approaching opponent. The opponent is rushing blindly here. "Let your magic frighten others," he shouted contemptuously as he rushed at them. "Only then will they be intimidated by your lies." However, when he just raised his hand to throw the spear, his hand was stiff in the air. One by one, the people behind could not escape the misfortune of becoming stones. At this time, Perseus simply raised Medusa's head so that others could see it immediately. In this way, he turned the last group of people into stiff stones. Until then, Phineus regretted not making trouble and provoking trouble like this. He looked at the stone statues with different postures on the left and right sides and shouted the names of his friends, but there was no answer. He touched their bodies with his hands in disbelief, but they had become granite. He was terrified, changed his arrogance in the past, and begged desperately: "spare my life! The Kingdom and the bride are for you!" Then he turned around. But Perseus did not want to forgive him. "You thief," he scolded angrily, "I will erect a monument for you forever in my father-in-law's palace!" Phineus dodged from side to side, not wanting to see the terrible head, but he didn't dodge at last. Suddenly, Phineus turned into a stone in terror and stood there with his hands drooping, completely like a humble servant.

Perseus was finally able to return home with his young wife Andromeda. A long and happy day awaits him. He also found his mother Danae. But he still could not avoid bringing disaster to his grandfather Acrisius. My grandfather, afraid of the Oracle, quietly fled to King pilaszi. At that time, a contest was being held here. He didn't know that his grandfather was here, and he was going to Argos to greet his grandfather. Perseus was very happy to see the contest. He grabbed a discus and threw it out. Unfortunately, he just hit his grandfather. Before long, he knew who he had killed. He deeply mourned the dead, buried him outside the city, and exchanged the kingdom he inherited. From then on, fate never envied him again. Andromeda gave birth to a group of lovely sons, who have always maintained their father's honor.
Perseus and Andromeda gave birth to six strong sons of Perseus, Electra Troon, terneros, heleos, mestor and alcaos, as well as two beautiful daughters gorgofourne and Oscar. The eldest son, Perses, was born in Ethiopia. When Perseus and his wife left Ethiopia, King kephs left him to inherit his throne in the future. Later, he became the ancestor of Persians, and "Persia" and "Persian" came from his name.
His second son, electheron, went up the inakos River and gradually walked out of the flat areas on both sides of the inakos River into the shallow mountains. On the high hills surrounded by mountains, he found a triangle between two connected mountains, which was very suitable for building his own foundation. This land is in the north of Argos, on the right bank of the inakos River, not far from the lerna swamp in the northwest. The new city he founded was named "mykonai" after his daughter, also known as "Mycenae". "Mycenae" means "round head", because he loves his sword very much, and the handle of this sword is round head. He called his favorite sword and city-state "round head". Mycenae city is built on the mountain, commanding, and can remotely control the surrounding area. The thick and solid Hui shaped wall encircles the slope between the two mountains, leaving only one gate, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This gate is the famous "Lion Gate". On the lintel of the triangular Boulder, a pair of powerful and rough lions are carved. Two symmetrical lions set their front feet on the altar, one on the left and one on the right, with a stone pillar standing in the middle.
His third son alcaos created the city of nimea near the forest of nimea to the north of Mycenae, and his other sons also created their own city states.
After the death of Perseus, his youngest son alkos inherited his throne in Corinth. Several accomplished sons made Perseus the most famous man, the greatest hero and the most powerful king in Peloponnesus. After the death of Perseus, Zeus sent him to heaven to become the "constellation of Perseus", his wife Andromeda became the "constellation of Andromeda", and his parents-in-law kephs and Cassiopeia became "Cepheus" and "Cassiopeia" respectively.

The legend of Perseus is more related to the constellation, and its name is not found in the list of gods and demigods. Perseus is more likely not to be the son of Zeus, the God King, but his real identity is the son of the tyrannical king poludectes.
According to different myths and legends, Medusa did die under the sword of Perseus, with the help of Athena and Hermes, and killed Medusa with the shield of Athena (the shield of Athena has no name, and Zeus gave it to Athena before she was born), and gave her head to Athena.
