Extractions: Perseus (PUR-see-us or PURS-yoos) Son of Zeus, heroic vanquisher of the Gorgon Medusa. Also see The Illustrated Perseus Another picture King Acrisius of Argos was warned by an oracle that he would be killed in time by a son born to his daughter Danae. So he promptly locked Danae up in a tower and threw away the key. But the god Zeus got in, disguised as a shower of gold, with the result that Perseus was born. So Acrisius straightaway stuck daughter and infant into a brazen chest and pushed it out to sea. Perhaps he expected it to sink like a stone, but instead it floated quite nicely, fetching up on a beach on the island of Seriphos. Here a fisherman named Dictys came upon the unusual bit of flotsam and adopted a protective attitude toward its contents. Thus Perseus had the advantage of a pure and simple role model as he grew to young manhood. Then one day Dictys's brother, who happened to be king in those parts, took a fancy to Danae and pressed his attentions upon her. "You leave my mother alone," insisted Perseus, clenching a not-insubstantial fist. And the king, Polydectes by name, had no choice but to desist. Or, rather, he grew subtle in the means of achieving his desires.
The Perseus Project And Beyond How Building A Digital Library
ISSN 10829873. The perseus Project and Beyond. Work at the perseus Project. At present, our funded work is advancing along the following complementary paths.
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january98/01crane.html

Extractions: gcrane@tufts.edu For more than ten years, the Perseus Project has been developing a digital library in the humanities. Initial work concentrated exclusively on ancient Greek culture, using this domain as a case study for a compact, densely hypertextual library on a single, but interdisciplinary, subject. Since it has achieved its initial goals with the Greek materials, however, Perseus is using the existing library to study the new possibilities (and limitations) of the electronic medium and to serve as the foundation for work in new cultural domains: Perseus has begun coverage of Roman and now Renaissance materials, with plans for expansion into other areas of the humanities as well. Our goal is not only to help traditional scholars conduct their research more effectively but, more importantly, to help humanists use the technology to redefine the relationship between their work and the broader intellectual community. The Perseus Project is a digital library that has been under continuous development since the spring of 1987.
Perseus

http://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Heroes/Perseus/perseus.html

Extractions: Perseus Once there was a king named Acrisius, he had a beautiful daughter named Danae. The oracle of Apollo told Acrisius that Danae's son would one day kill him. Acrisius could not let that happen, so he locked Danae in a bronze tower so that she would never marry or have children. The tower had no doors, but it had one very small window. Danae was very sad, but one day a bright shower of gold came through the small window. A man appeared, he had a thunderbolt in his hand and Danae knew he was a god, but she didn't know which. The man said, "Yes, I am a god and I wish to make you my wife. I can make this dark prison a wonderful sunny land with many flowers " All happened as he said, the horrible prison became fields almost as wonderful as the Elysian Fields themselves, but one day Acrisius saw light coming out of the small window. He told his men to tear down one of the walls. He walked into the tower and saw Danae with a baby on her lap, smiling she said, "I have named him Perseus." Acrisius was furious, he shut Danae and baby Perseus up in a large chest and cast them out to sea. Somehow they got safely to the island of Seriphos where Polydectes was king. The kings brother who was a fisherman, caught them in his net and pulled them to shore, his name was Dictys. Perseus grew up to become a strong young man. Polydectes heard about Danae and wanted her to marry him, but she rejected him. Polydectes would have married Danae by force if Perseus wasn't there to protect her.

Adventures Of Perseus
Adventures of perseus. The adventures of perseus are very interesting. Let s start with a little bit of history. perseus was the son of God Zeus and Danae.
http://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/The_Myths/Perseus/perseus.html

Extractions: Adventures of Perseus The adventures of Perseus are very interesting. in fact, his whole life is interesting from his birth onwards. Let's start with a little bit of history. Perseus was the son of God Zeus and Danae. His reputation quickly made him into a hero of Argos (an area in the peloponissus part of Greece). Arcisius, Perseus' grandfather once asked an oracle if he would ever have any kids. The answer he got was shocking and lead him to live a life of paranoia. He was told by the oracle that his daughter would have a son that will eventually kill him. Arcisius being driven by the force of fear made a quick decision, a quick decision that would impact another forever. He had his daughter Danae jailed in an underground cave with brass walls. But mighty Zeus was watching. He had an eye for beauty, and a way with women few dared to compete, not even Pierce Brosnan. Zeus transformed himself into a shower of golden rain and entered the cave were Danae was held. They then formed union, and Danae gave birth to a baby boy, of which she managed to keep secret for some time. Sooner than later, her angry father Arcisius found out about the baby. He refused to believe that Zeus had anything to do with it (blame it on the milk man:)). He ordered Danae's nurse to death, as he believed that she orchestrated this affair. He thought about killing his grandson himself, what his guilt would not allow hi to. He walked back and forth with his head struck down from his shoulders desperately seeking a solution that wouldn't pose any danger to his life. By early morning, Arcisius made up his mind. he had a wooden ark built for his daughter and his grandson. he immiadetly gave the order for the two to be placed in it and to be set adrift on the sea, as far as possible. Finally, he's worries were gone. Or so he thought.

Extractions: Perseus slays Medusa Perseus was the son of Danae , the only child of Acrisius king of Argos . Disappointed by his lack of male heirs, he asked an oracle if this would change. The oracle told him that one day he would be killed by his daughter's child. She was childless and, meaning to keep her so, he shut her up in a brazen chamber. But Zeus came to her in the form of rain, and impregnated her. Soon after, their child Perseus was born. None too happy, but unwilling to provoke the wrath of the gods by killing his offspring, Acrisius cast the two into the sea in a wooden chest. They washed ashore on the island of Seriphos , where they were taken in by Dictys , the brother of king Polydectes , who raised the boy to manhood. Now after a time Polydectes fell in love with Danae, and so wanted to get Perseus out of the picture. He thereby hatched a plot to send him on a suicide mission. Polydectes placed some strong hints that he would love to have the head of Medusa , one of the gorgons whose very expression turns people to stone. He then announced that he would woo

The Legend Of Perseus
Chris Oakley s home page The next installment Oedipus! The Legend of perseus. Chapter 1 Zeus appears to Danaë, perseus mother, in prison. Daedalus.
http://www.cgoakley.demon.co.uk/perseus/

Extractions: [Chris Oakley's home page] [The next installment - Oedipus!] Our part of the galaxy - like the other spiral arms - remains relatively unexplored by most of the hyper-advanced races that dwell near the centre, or hub cap, of the galaxy, and in the last few thousand years the only use they have made of our sector (which consists of little more than two million life-supporting planets) has been as a penal colony. It was then purely by chance that Gaea, a woman from one of the old crime families on the ultra-chic planet Chaos, and a neurotic with violent tendencies, was dropped off in Northern Greece to serve a two thousand year sentence for cannibalism. The gaolers, one of who had managed to get her pregnant in the long trip over, did not stay long enough to consider the fact that dropping a violent psychotic on a planet whose native life forms had vastly inferior powers was not really cricket. The rest is history, or, at least, mythology, and is chronicled by Homer and Euripides, amongst others. She bred incestuously with her son Uranus (no jokes, please) to produce - no big surprise - a series of genetic freaks, some of which were giants with a hundred hands and some of which had only one eye: only the youngest seven were remotely normal. Of all the murderous family squabbles that followed, culminating in her grandson Zeus emerging as the ruler, you would not want to know - at least not until our book on the subject comes out - but suffice it to say that if the Greeks thought they had problems before the gods came on the scene, well
