Thwarted by his deficiency of male heirs, Acrisius asked an oracle if this would change. A oracle told him to return a Globe's prevent in which he would become flushed by his girl's baby. She was childless &, meaning to keep her and so, he shut her higher inside the bronze tower or even cave. However Zeus come to her in the form of rain or even the shower of gold, & impregnated her. Shortly fallowing, their tike Perseus was natural.

None as well happy, however unwilling to provoke the wrath of a gods by killing his offspring, Acrisius cast them into the sea around a wooden chest. A sea was calmed by Poseidon at a asking of Zeus & the pair survived. It washed onto land on the island of Seriphos, where it were taken around by Dictys, the brother of King Polydectes, who raised a son to manhood.

Late, when Perseus flushed Medusa and rescued Andromeda, the oracle's prophecy come confessedly.

He began for Argos, however learning of the prophecy instead attend Larissa, where athletic games were existence held. By risk Acrisius was there, & Perseus inadvertently struck him by owning his javelin (or even discus), fulfilling a prophecy. As well shamed to link to to Argos he so gave a kingdom to Megapenthes, son of Proetus (Acrisius' brother) and took on top his kingdom of Tiryns, also founding Mycenae and Midea there.
