PERSEUS The main body of Perseus, surrounding the bright star Mirfak (Alpha Persei), streams within the Milky Way to the left of center. Most of the stars clumped around Mirfak are part of the Alpha Persei cluster . To the right of center and a bit above Mirfak is the bright and famed eclipsing double star Algol, Beta Persei, which represents the head of the Medusa, one of the Gorgons. Three other "Gorgonea" wrap around to the right of Algol, from top to bottom Secunda (Pi), Tertia (Rho), and Quarta (Omega). Gamma is the brightest of the stars toward the upper left, while Epsilon, Xi, and Zeta lie at lower right on a line roughly parallel to the bottom of the photo. Delta is the brightest star just down and to the right of Mirfak. Perseus is home to the famed Double Cluster , not seen here but visible in the photo of the neighboring constellation Cassiopeia To see a labelled image, push the star: See Perseus from Bayer's Uranometria of 1603 and from Bode's Uranographia Brittanica of 1786.

142. Marriage And Funerals In Athens Jana Shopkorn's essay on ritual and ceremony in Ancient Greece. Includes links to numerous vase images. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/classes/JSp.html

"Til Death Do Us Part: Marriage and Funeral Rites in Classical Athens Jana Shopkorn In the ancient Mediterranean world there was hardly room for choice: not only was marriage destiny, but so was death. The identity of the Classical Greek world is established through the traditional sacrifices and rituals that were practiced in these times of bliss and mourning. The sacred wedding and the dramatic funeral compliment each other in character and content, for the ceremonies are both interwoven with ritual meaning and overlapping rites. Evidence for these formalities, both literary and artistic, help to provide a complete account of Greek customs in order to form the general picture of the wedding, the funeral, the parallels, the writings, and the vase paintings. Every respectable woman in Athens became a wife if she could. There was no real alternative other than marriage. The bride and the groom prepared for the wedding by means of offerings, dedications, and sacrifices. All of these rites had a purificatory and propitiatory character. Marriage in Classical Athens is constituted by the acts of engue ekdosis and gamos Engue refers to the betrothal arranged by the kurioi , usually the fathers. It may also refer to the relationship between the

144. Dionysiac Mysteries And The Thesmophoria The Dionysiac Mysteries and the Thesmophoria both gave women in Greece an opportunity to escape, even just for a short time, from the domestic women's sphere. By Lynne Aftuck. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/classes/LAp.html

Lynne Aftuck May 3, 1996 The Dionysiac Mysteries and the Thesmophoria In ancient Greece, religious festivals were an important social outlet for women. They gave women an opportunity to leave their households and enter the public sphere. Two festivals that were of particular importance to Greek women were the Mysteries of Dionysus and the Thesmophoria . Although the participants in both festivals were primarily women, that seems to be where the similarities end. The Mysteries were not conducive to women's proper role in society whereas the Thesmophoria seemed to be in the best interest of everyone in the polis. By looking at the ritualistic activities involved in the two festivals, it is easy to see why this was the prevailing opinion of men who lived in Greece during the days of these festivals. Religion was the major source of women's participation in public life. It has been said that festivals were probably the only legitimate reason that women had to leave their homes. The festivals gave the women an opportunity to obtain external support from other women with regard to personal problems and concerns. By attending religious festivals, women were also given an alternative to their normal lives in the home. The festivals provided them with respite from their domestic duties such as caring for children and weaving The Mysteries of Dionysus were important cult festivals for many women. This festival was in honor of

148. Portland State's Greek Civ For Kids perseus. perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae, a mortal. As a wedding present, the king asked perseus to retrieve the head of the Gorgon Medusa. http://www.historyforkids.org/greekciv/religion/gods/perseus.htm

Perseus Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae, a mortal. Acrisius, Danae's father, feared an oracle that warned him of his death by a grandson. So he put his daughter and grandson into a chest, and cast them out to sea. The chest was found by a fisherman named Dictys. Dictys brought the two to his brother King Polydectes. It soon became obvious that the king was attracted to Danae, and Perseus had to continually help his mother keep her distance. Polydectes was getting tired of Perseus' interference, and pretended that he was going to marry Hippodameia. As a wedding present, the king asked Perseus to retrieve the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Everyone knew that if any mortal looked upon Medusa's face, her face alone would turn him/her to stone. So Polydectes believed he was sending Perseus to his death. With the aid of Athena and Hermes , Perseus undertook the task. The first step was to obtain items that were needed. These items were kept by the Stygian Nymphs, who could only be found by the Graeae. So Perseus set off to Mount Atlas to meet the Graeae. Waiting for an opportunity, Perseus stole the only eye and tooth shared by all three sisters. The sisters had no choice but to tell Perseus were the Nymphs were.

MYTH MAN'S HOMEWORK HELP CENTER PERSEUS PERSEUS As told by the authors Ovid and Hesiod King Acrisius of Argos had only one child, a daughter named Danaë. She was beautiful above all the other women of the land, but the King was not content because he wanted to have a son. Journeying to the Oracle of Delphi, he was told by the priestess that he would never be the father of a boy, and even worse, his daughter would have a son who would kill him. In an attempt to escape his fate, he tried to ensure that Danaë would not have any children. He shut and guarded her in a house built of bronze and sunk underground. He hoped that in this way, he would not have to kill her and thus would spare his own life. One day, Zeus visited her as a shower of gold and she bore his son. For a time, she tried to conceal the child from her father, but the narrow limits of the bronze house made it increasingly difficult and soon Perseus was discovered by his grandfather. Acrisius was very angry but was afraid to kill the boy or his mother because he feared Zeus. He had a great chest made, placed the two in it, and brought it to the sea and cast it into the water. The chest was tossed out to sea and finally one day, they landed on an island but they had no way to get out of the box. Fate willed it, or even Zeus, that they were discovered by a good fisherman, name Dictys. He came upon the box, broke it open and took them home to his wife who was as kind as he. The two lived there for many years, Danaë being content to let her son follow the fisherman's humble trade. But in the end more trouble came. Polydectes, the ruler of the small island (and Dictys' brother) fell in love with her. He wanted her, but not her son (who was now fully grown), and he set himself to think of a way of getting rid of him.

Perseus Born: 2nd century BC Died: 2nd century BC Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index There are only two references to Perseus and these both occur in the writings of Proclus . They give no indication of where he was born or where he lived. His dates can at least be put within certain bounds by the information given, but our knowledge is still almost nil. The first reference says that Perseus is associated with the discovery of the "spiric" curves in the same way as that of Apollonius is with conics . The second reference is taken from Geminus and says that Perseus wrote an epigram on his discovery (see for example [1]):- Three curves upon five sections finding, Perseus made offering to the gods... All that can be deduced with certainty is that Perseus must have lived before Geminus . Less certain, but still very reasonable, is the belief that conic sections must have been developed first so he would then have lived after Euclid wrote in say 300 BC. The references do not really give enough details to be able to tell what Perseus discovered. We do know what a spiric section is.
