Here, I want to write more about this hero. Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae (the daughter of Acrisius of Argos). As an infant he and his mother were cast into the sea in a box by Acrisius. Acrisius did this in response to a prophecy stating he would be killed by his own grandson. He felt somewhat guilty for his action, but preferred life with guilt to an innocent death. Perseus grew up to be a brave young man on the island of Seriphus, where the box had grounded. King Polydectes of Seriphus fell in love with beautiful Danae and for a long time wanted to abduct her. Perseus, however, remained always by her side. One day, the King tricked the young man into promising to obtain the head of Medusa, the only mortal among the Gorgons. (The Gorgons were portrayed as winged female creatures with hair consisting of snakes. Their heads had the power of turning all who looked upon them into stone). Aided by Hermes (the messenger) and Athena (the goddess of wisdom, fertility, the useful arts, and prudent warfare), Perseus pressed the Graiae (sisters of the Gorgons) into helping him. The sisters shared one eye and one tooth between them. He seized these items and refused to return them until they provided him with winged sandals (which enabled him to fly), the helmet of

By accident, they say, Perseus 1 killed his grandfather, the man who had sent him and his mother into exile. Perseus 1 beheaded Medusa 1 , and later founded the city of Mycenae , where he became king. Prophecy and Birth When Danae 's father King Acrisius of Argos once questioned the oracle, it replied that Danae would give birth to a son who would kill him. Fearing that, he built a brazen chamber under ground where he guarded Danae . But Zeus had intercourse with her in the shape of a stream of gold which poured through the roof into the girl's lap. When her father afterwards learned that she had got a child, he would not believe that she had been seduced by

Knowledge Management in the Perseus Digital Library Jeffrey A. Rydberg-Cox, Robert F. Chavez, David A. Smith, Anne Mahoney, Gregory R. Crane In this paper, we describe the new document delivery and knowledge management tools in the Perseus Digital Library Digital libraries can be an extremely effective method of extending the services of a traditional library by enabling activities such as access to materials outside the physical confines of the library I. What is Perseus? The Perseus digital library is a heterogeneous collection of texts and images pertaining to the Archaic and Classical Greek world, late Republican and early Imperial Rome, the English Renaissance, and 19th Century London. The texts are integrated with morphological analysis tools, student and advanced lexica, and sophisticated searching tools that allow users to find all of the inflected instantiations of a particular lexical form. The current corpus of Greek texts contains approximately four million words by thirty-three different authors. Most of the texts were written in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E., with some written as late as the second century C.E. The corpus of Latin texts contains approximately one million five hundred thousand words mostly written by authors from the republican and early imperial periods. The digital library also contains more than 30,000 images, 1000 maps, and a comprehensive catalog of sculpture. Collections of English language literature from the Renaissance and the 19th century will be added in the fall of 2000.

Although blood gushes from the severed head of Medusa, this sensational subject is not treated with horror or drama. The torso Cellini, a goldsmith, carefully worked this large bronze. Like Michelangelo, who signed the St. Peter's on a strap across the Madonna's bosom, Cellini signed this bronze work on the strap which crosses Perseus's torso. The headless Medusa Blood gushes from the severed neck of Medusa, one of the snake-haired Gorgons, who could turn men to stone.

115. Herodotus Book 2 Herodotus's account of Egyptian life after the invasion by the Persians. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/GreekScience/hdtbk2.html

Herodotus Book 2 Chapter 1 [1] After the death of Cyrus, Cambyses inherited his throne. He was the son of Cyrus and of Cassandane, the daughter of Pharnaspes, for whom Cyrus mourned deeply when she died before him, and had all his subjects mourn also. [2] Cambyses was the son of this woman and of Cyrus. He considered the Ionians and Aeolians slaves inherited from his father, and prepared an expedition against Egypt, taking with him some of these Greek subjects besides others whom he ruled. Chapter 2 [1] Now before Psammetichus became king of Egypt, the Egyptians believed that they were the oldest people on earth. But ever since Psammetichus became king and wished to find out which people were the oldest, they have believed that the Phrygians were older than they, and they than everybody else. [2] Psammetichus, when he was in no way able to learn by inquiry which people had first come into being, devised a plan by which he took two newborn children of the common people and gave them to a shepherd to bring up among his flocks. He gave instructions that no one was to speak a word in their hearing; they were to stay by themselves in a lonely hut, and in due time the shepherd was to bring goats and give the children their milk and do everything else necessary. [3] Psammetichus did this, and gave these instructions, because he wanted to hear what speech would first come from the children, when they were past the age of indistinct babbling. And he had his wish; for one day, when the shepherd had done as he was told for two years, both children ran to him stretching out their hands and calling "Bekos!" as he opened the door and entered.

Perseus and the gorgon Medusa In Greek mythology, the hero Perseus killed the gorgon Medusa, whose visage was so terrible that all who looked on her were turned to stone. The oracle of Apollo at Delphi warned King Acrisius of Argos that his daughter Danae would bear a son who would one day kill Acrisius. To avoid this fate, Acrisius imprisoned Danae in a tower, but Zeus, the king of the gods, came to her there in the form of a shower of golden rain, which Danae caught in her lap. After nine months had passed, she gave birth to a son, whom she named Perseus. bodyOffer(23912) One day while walking near the tower, Acrisius heard the cry of an infant. When he discovered that his daughter had a newborn son, he put them both into a wooden chest, locked it, and had it thrown into the Aegean Sea. That night, in the midst of a storm, a wave smashed open the lock on the chest. The next day the sea was calm, and the chest drifted until it reached the shore of the island of Seriphos. There a group of fishermen, led by a man named Dictys, came upon the wooden chest, and wondered whether it might be a gift from Poseidon, the god of the sea. When they opened it, however, they found the frightened young woman and her squalling infant. Dictys offered her his hand, to help her out of the chest, but at first she was too frightened to take it. He told her that although he might look like a rough fisherman, in fact he was the brother of Polydectes, the king of the island, and he promised she would be treated well.

The Symbiosis Between Content and Technology in the Perseus Digital Library By Gregory Crane, Brian Fuchs, Amy C. Smith and Clifford E. Wulfman - October 2000 The Perseus Digital Library [ ] already enjoys strong affinities with many projects being developed in Europe today. Mirror sites for Perseus have been maintained in Oxford and Berlin for several years, and we have worked extensively with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin [ ] since 1998. Most recently, we have begun to collaborate with the Center for the Study of Ancient Documents and the Beazley Archive at Oxford University as well as with the team at Cambridge now writing a new intermediate Greek Lexicon. European collaborations are natural for us; while most of the technical research in digital libraries being done in the US is readily applicable to European efforts, the Perseus Digital Library Project is unusual in that, technology aside, its efforts to date have focused on a cultural heritage shared by the US and Europe alike. Given the magnitude of the task before us all, such US/European partnerships are essential, and we are eager to expand our ties to colleagues in Europe. We are therefore grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Cultivate Interactive Introduction ], we remain focussed on the back-end structures by which the data is organized. Systems, however elaborate, are ephemeral: they evolve and can be replaced much more easily than massive and expanding contents.
