home greek heroes heroes o-t Perseus Perseus in Myth Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae . His grandfather Acrisius, alarmed by an oracle which had told him that his daughter's child would be the instrument of his death, caused the mother and child to be shut up in a chest and set adrift on the sea. The chest floated towards Seriphus, where it was found by a fisherman who conveyed the mother and infant to Polydectes, the king of the country, by whom they were treated with kindness. When Perseus was grown up Polydectes sent him to attempt the conquest of Medusa , a terrible monster who had laid waste the country. She was once a beautiful maiden whose hair was her chief glory, but as she dared to vie in beauty with Athena , the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. She became a cruel monster of so frightening an aspect that no living thing could behold her without being turned into stone. All around the cavern where she dwelt might be seen the stony figures of men and animals which had chanced to catch a glimpse of her and had been petrified with the sight. Perseus, favored by Athena and Hermes , the former of whom lent him her shield and the latter his winged shoes, approached Medusa while she slept, and taking care not to look directly at her, but guided by her image reflected in the bright shield which he bore, he cut off her head and gave it to Athena, who fixed it in the middle of her Aegis.

home greek myths lovers ... page 2 Perseus and Andromeda in Myth Perseus , continuing his flight, arrived at the country of the Ethiopians, of which Cepheus was king. Cassiopeia his queen, proud of her beauty, had dared to compare herself to the Sea-Nymphs, which roused their indignation to such a degree that they sent a prodigious sea-monster to ravage the coast. To appease the deities, Cepheus was directed by the oracle to expose his daughter Andromeda to be devoured by the monster. As Perseus looked down from his aerial height he beheld Andromeda chained to a rock, and waiting the approach of the serpent. She was so pale and motionless that if it had not been for her flowing tears and her hair that moved in the breeze, he would have taken her for a marble statue. He was so startled at the sight that he almost forgot to wave his wings.

Acrisius volebat Perseum, nepotem suum, necare; nam propter oraculum puerum timebat. Comprehendit igitur Perseum, adhuc infantem, et cum matre in arcâ ligneâ inclusit. Tum arcam ipsam in mare coniecit. Danaë, Persei mater, magno- pere territa est; tempestas enim magna mare turbabat. Per- seus autem in sinû matris dormiebat. Iuppiter tamen haec omnia vidit, et filium suum servare constituit. Fecit igitur mare tranquillum, et arcam ad insulam Seriphum perduxit. Huius insulae Polydectes tum rex erat. Postquam arca ad litus appulsa est, Danae in harenâ quietem capiebat. Post breve tempus a piscatore quodam reperta est, et ad domum regis Polydectis adducta est. Ille matrem et puerum benigne excepit, et sedem tutam in finibus suis dedit. Danae hoc donum libenter accepit, et pro tanto beneficio regi gratias egit.

Perseus Location: Northern Hemisphere Coordinates: Right Ascension: 03h Source: Greek Mythology The story behind the name: Perseus was the son of the Greek god Zeus and the mortal princess Danae. Perseus' grandfather, Acrisius, the king of Argos, was warned by an oracle that he would be killed by his grandson. Acrisius locked his daughter Danae in a dungeon to prevent her bearing a child. Zeus found a way into her dungeon disguised as a shower of gold. When the child Perseus was born, King Acrisius locked Danae and Perseus in a wooden chest and threw it into the sea. The chest floated to the island of Seriphos, where it was rescued by a fisherman who was brother to the island's king, Polydectes. Polydectes offered them protection and Perseus was raised in his house. Polydectes may have had an ulterior motive as he later tried to force marriage on Danae. The king tried to mislead Perseus by saying that he intended to marry someone else. Perseus was so relieved that he promised the king a rather extravagant wedding gift, the head of Medusa. Medusa was one of three sisters, daughters of Ceto and Phorcys, who was transformed into a hideous creature by the goddess Athene. She was angry at Medusa for having a liaison with Poseidon in one of her temples. Also known as the Gorgon, Medusa had serpents for hair, huge teeth, and a protruding tongue. One look turned people to stone. Athene helped Perseus gather magic equipment and gave him a shield to use as a mirror so that he would not look at Medusa directly. Perseus flew to the Gorgon's den with his winged sandals, and, using the shield as a mirror, cut off Medusa's head and buried it. The winged horse

Solar System Image Gallery - Mercury 2003 Transit: I was most fortunate on May 7th, 2003 to be perfectly located for the Mercury transit against the sun. This event is relatively rare as it occurs, on average, about thirteen times each century. The transiting Mercury had an apparent diameter of only 12.0 arc-seconds or approximately 1/160th that of the sun. Table 1 below describes the various key stages of the transit (UT+3) whereas Table 2 provides a visual representation of these same events as well as a sequence of the complete 5-hr and 20-minute transit. Complete ingress, maximum and egress are based on integrations 60 seconds apart whereas the complete transit is based on 33 integrations spaced at ten-minute intervals and (very painfully) digitally processed and assembled.

CELLINI, Benvenuto (b. 1500, Firenze, d. 1571, Firenze) Perseus Bronze Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence The sculpture shows Perseus, holding the head of the Medusa which he has cut off and from whose blood the winged horse Pegasus will be born. This masterpiece in bronze was sculpted between 1545 and 1554 for the Loggia dei Lanzi (an open-air gallery) and has stood there ever since. The sculpture can be considered as the reult of a direct competition with Donatello's earlier sculpture, Judith and Holophernes. The modelling of the reliefs in bronze on the marble base is so exquisitely done that it suggests the precision of the goldsmith rather than the sculptor's art.

Perseus Statue of Perseus. Vatican Museum, Rome, Italy Click on image for full size ( 72K JPEG Image courtesy of Corel Corporation. Perseus was an ancient Greek hero. His mother was Danae, the daughter of the king of Argos, Acrisius. When a prophecy revealed to Acrisius that his grandson would kill him, he imprisoned his daughter Danae in a bronze underground chamber to keep her chaste. Zeus , however, fooled Acrisius' precautions by entering the prison disguised as a shower of gold. When Acrisius discovered that Danae had given birth to Perseus , he had her and the newborn thrown into the sea in a chest of wood. Luckily they were rescued by a fisherman of the island of Seriphos. The fisherman was the brother of king of Seriphos, Polydectes. He took the woman and her child to the royal palace where the king offered them hospitality and protection. Perseus grew up on the island and became a courageous young man. Polydectes fell in love with Danae, but she rejected his advances. Hoping to overcome her resistance, Polydectes sent Perseus on a dangerous mission to get rid of him. Perseus had to fetch the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Instead of hair Medusa had serpents on her head and anyone who looked at her horrific features was turned into stone. Nevertheless, with the help of Athena and Hermes , Perseus managed to kill Medusa.

Perseus The constellation Perseus is found during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and during the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Click on image for full size ( 56K JPG Courtesy of NASA Perseus, the Hero, can be found in the sky during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere. With a little imagination, you can see the image of a man in the stars. He has a sort of triangular body, with two legs and feet that look like they are curling up towards the head. There are also two arms stretching out, possibly carrying some sort of weapon or the head of Medusa. Perseus was a Greek hero most famous for his slaying of Medusa. If anyone looked at Medusa's face they would turn to stone. With the help of Hermes' wings and Athena's shield, Perseus killed Medusa without looking at her. On his way home, Perseus came across the monster, Cetus , getting ready to eat Andromeda . Perseus used Medusa's head to turn Cetus into stone and saved the princess. Algol is a very famous star in Perseus. When looking at the image, Algol is the white "star" in the right leg. In Arabic, the name means "head of the demon", which makes many scientists believe the star was supposed to represent Medusa's eye. What makes this star so special is that it winks! Algol is a special type of binary star, with a dimmer star revolving around a brighter star. When the dimmer star crosses in front of the other, the magnitude of Algol decreases, giving the appearance of a winking star! Perseus is located along the Milky Way , so it is full of deep sky objects. When you find Perseus, look for the constellations
