Perseus: Part 6

Perseus married Andromeda. Then they sailed to Seriphos. Polydectes, the

very cruel king, was still reigning. Danae, the mother of Perseus, and
Dictys, the fisherman who had once saved her and Perseus, were
prisoners. While Polydectes was eating food, Perseus suddenly entered.
Look! he said I bring you the head of Medusa Not trusting these
words, the king watched the youth, who was holding the head. Because of
this Polydectes was turned to stone. Perseus and Andromeda left again.
They went on the road to Larissa. The king was holding great games
there. Perseus entered the discus contest. By chance the discus
powerfully flew to kill an old man in the crowd. When he had left to go to
Larissa, warned by the oracle, he was afraid lest he be killed by his
grandson; the old man was Acrisius, the grandfather of Perseus.
