What god fathered Perseus?

Heroes in Greek Mythology: Perseus

Zeus. Zeus visited Danae in a shower of gold ...

According to Hermes, who was Perseus told to see about the location of Medusa?

Heroes in Greek Mythology: Perseus

The Gray Sisters. Only the Gray Sisters could tell the way.

What princess did Perseus save from the sea monster on his way home?

Andromeda.

What king who had plotted to marry Danae was killed instantaneously at the sight of Medusa?

Heroes in Greek Mythology: Perseus

Polydectes. The tricky Polydectes got his own medicine ... Acrisius was killed as well, fulfilling his prophesy.

Who was the maternal grandfather of Perseus?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Acrisius. Acrisius was the king of Argos and the maternal grandfather of Perseus. Adrastus was the leader of the Seven Against Thebes. Aeacus was the king of Aegina for whom Zeus created the Myrmidons. Aegisthus was the lover of Clytemnestra and slayer of Agamemnon.

Why did Perseus's grandfather lock his mother Danae in a bronze tower?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

A prophesy said that her son would kill him and he wanted her to remain a virgin forever. When Acrisius consulted an oracle, it told him that he would be killed by his own grandson. Terrified at this prospect, Acrisius locked his daughter Danae in a bronze tower so that no man could ever impregnate her. Unfortunately for him, Zeus desired Danae and was determined to have her. Her turned into golden rain and entered her tower, making her pregnant with Perseus.

Onto the shore of which island did Perseus and Danae wash up after being locked in a chest and thrown into the sea?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Seriphos. When Acrisius found out the Danae was pregnant, he was still determined that the child would not survive. He could not kill them outright without incensing the Harpies, who punished those who kill family members, so he locked them in a box and threw them into the sea. That way, if they died, it was Poseidon's fault and not his. Zeus, however, protected them and they washed up on the shore of the island of Seriphos. Danae and Perseus were found by a kind fisherman, Dictys, who adopted them.

Why did King Polydectes ask Perseus to fetch the head of Medusa?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

He wanted Perseus gone permanently so he could marry Danae. Polydectes, the brother of Dictys and king of Seriphos, desired Perseus's mother Danae. Perseus, however, objected to the marriage, and Polydectes devised a way to get rid of him for good. Knowing that Perseus did not possess many worldly goods, Polydectes requested a wedding present from him; when Perseus asked him what he wanted, Polydectes asked him for the head of Medusa, hoping that Perseus would perish trying to procure it and he could marry Danae without interference.

In Ovid's "Metamorphoses", he mentions that Perseus turned which character, more commonly associated with Heracles, to stone?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Atlas. Although it clashes with the story that Heracles later asked Atlas for the Apples of the Hesperides, Ovid writes that Perseus turned the formidable Titan into stone by showing him the head of Medusa.

What shield of Athena did Perseus use as a mirror to slay Medusa?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Aegis. The Aegis, although technically the shield of Zeus, was carried by Athena. She let Perseus borrow it so he could slay Medusa, since looking at her directly would have turned him into stone. After he had returned to Seriphos and turned Polydectes into stone, Perseus placed the head of Medusa on the aegis and returned it to Athena.

What uncle and former fiancee of Andromeda was Perseus forced to turn into stone at their wedding feast?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Phineus. Phineus had been betrothed to Andromeda before she was tied to a boulder to be devoured by a sea monster.

At their wedding feast, an angry Phineus and some of his supporters attacked Perseus, who was forced to turn them into stone using the head of Medusa.

Who was the only daughter of Perseus and Andromeda?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Gorgophone. Although most accounts say Perseus and Andromeda had quite a few sons, Perses being one of them, Gorgophone, whose name means "slaying of the Gorgon," is the only daughter ever mentioned. Cassiopeia was the unfortunate mother of Andromeda and Phaedra was the second wife of Theseus and a princess of Crete.

With what did Perseus kill his grandfather?

Important Heroes in Greek Mythology #1: Perseus

Discus. Perseus happened to be competing in funeral games in Thessaly where Acrisius was in attendance. He accidentally threw his discus with too much force, killing Acrisius, who was a spectator there, thus fulfilling the prophesy that Acrisius had tried so hard to avoid.

Our story starts out on a sadder note. Perseus had a mom, who was very beautiful. However, her father cast her adrift because there was a prophecy that her son would kill his grandfather. What was his mother's name?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Danae. Danae's father was actually King Acrisius, Perseus's grandfather. Persephone is married to Hades and Aphrodite and Athena are both goddesses.

Now that we know who Perseus's mother was, can you tell me who his father was?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Zeus. Yes, Perseus is one of Zeus's many successful children.

Now there was a man who had grown fond of Danae but Perseus was a very protective son, and made sure that this man wouldn't get to her. What was this man's name?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Polydectes. Polydectes wanted to get to Danae but Perseus wouldn't let him. Perseus made sure that no one got to his mother. This would soon change though.

Now this man who had grown fond of Danae eventually devised a plan to get rid of Perseus so he could finally be with Danae. What was this plan?

The Life and Times of Perseus

He was going to send Perseus to slay Medusa. Yes he sent him to slay Medusa because he was sure that there was no way that he could ever return. Polydectes thought he was home free, until something else happened.

Now what this particular man didn't know is that Perseus had some help, and this wasn't just normal help, he had the help of the gods. What two gods aided Perseus on his quest?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Athena and Hermes. These two gods would end up helping Perseus a great deal on his quest by watching over him and giving him a few things to help him.

What were the gifts that Perseus received from the two gods who aided him?

The Life and Times of Perseus

A bag and winged sandals. The bag was to put Medusa's head in so that no one could see it after he had slain her and the winged sandals were so that he could fly around Medusa and stay away from her deathly gaze.

When Perseus had reached the object of his quest, what did he to do to complete it?

The Life and Times of Perseus

He used a shield to reflect its gaze back into its eyes and then chopped off its head. Yes, it was a brilliant plan. After he had slain her he put the head in his bag and set off back to his home, ready to shock everyone.

Now on his way home Perseus encountered someone who had been chained to the sea as a sacrifice. He fell in love with this woman and bargained with her father for her hand in marriage. Who was this woman?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Andromeda. The bargain was that if Perseus killed the monster that she was being sacrificed to he could marry her. Perseus succeeded of course and they eventually got married.

When Perseus returned home and found that the man who had sent him on his quest was pestering his mother what did he do to him?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Using Medusa's head, he turned him to stone. He had learned that Medusa's head was a useful tool as he had turned many people to stone with it on his journey back.

Finally, going back to question one. Did the prophecy of Perseus killing his grandfather ever come true?

The Life and Times of Perseus

Yes. He did end up killing him; however, it was an accident. One day Perseus was throwing a discus that went wild and struck his grandfather, killing him, and that is the story of Perseus.

Alexandra facts:

The 23-year-old actress plays Annabeth Chase in the upcoming Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief — out this coming February. Based on a best-selling book series by Rick Riordan, Percy is about a boy who discovers he is a descendant of Greek gods.
Alexandra chatted with WWD about the movie and why she signed on for the role of Annabeth, daughter of Athena in the flick. She shared, “Greek gods are so human in so many ways — they love and they hate and they get jealous — and that’s what makes the stories about them so exciting.”
Alexandra even admitted that she picked up a few skills on the set of Percy like archery and fencing. She laughs, “Though I don’t know if I could get into an actual sword fight if I had the chance.”

An atheist from boyhood, he converted at age 33 and devoted much of the rest of his life to writing about faith.

 Here are some little known facts about J. K. Rowling.

J. K. stands for Joanne Kathleen. J. K. Rowling chose to use initials for her books because her publisher feared that if readers knew she was female, they would lose interest in the boy wizard, Harry Potter. Of course,
 everyone later learned this was hardly the case.

Harry Potter was created on napkins while J. K. Rowling was a single mother traveling by train. She completed her first book-length manuscript on an old manual typewriter while she was unemployed and living on state benefits.

Twelve publishing houses initially rejected her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A small publisher, Bloomsbury, finally decided to give Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling a chance, awarding the author a small advance.

J. K. Rowling experienced quite a turnaround with the success of Harry Potter, and in 2006, the author was named the second richest female entertainer in the world behind Oprah Winfrey. Her fortune is estimated at just over One Billion U.S. Dollars.

The sixth book of the Harry Potter series sold more copies in twenty-four hours than The Da Vinci Code sold in a year. It also earned the Guinness Book of World Records Award for being the fastest selling book ever.

J. K. Rowling has assured the world that the seventh book in the Harry Potter series will also be the last. Although famous authors such as Stephen King and John Irving have begged J. K. Rowling not to kill off Harry Potter, the author has remained ambiguous about the boy wizard's fate.

J. K. Rowling contributes a good deal of money and support to charitable causes. She has suggested that she might publish an encyclopedia of the Harry Potter world, and contribute any and all earnings from the publication to charity.
