The myth goes on to say that through the opening in her enclosure, the great God Zeus came to her in a golden rainfall. His goal was to keep her from male suitors so that she could not become pregnant. According to the legend, she was imprisoned in a bronze enclosure (some versions of the story say that it was a tall bronze tower, other versions report that it was actually an underground prison that was open to the sky). King Acrisius was determined to keep that from happening, so he decided to lock up his only daughter, Danae. The oracle told King Acrisius that he would one day be killed by his daughter’s son. In Greek mythology, oracles were like fortune tellers and Acrisius was seeking information for his future. King Acrisius had once sought advice from the oracle at Delphi because he had been unable to have a son. Danae was the daughter of the king of Argos, King Acrisius. He was born to Danae, his mother, who was a mortal (meaning that she was not a God). Perseus was thought to exist several generations before the famous Heracles (Hercules). He is best known in Greek mythology as the slayer of Medusa, one of three female creatures, or Gorgons, with hair said to be made of poisonous snakes.

Perseus was one of the oldest out of all of the Greek mythological heroes.
