Want to know:
King Acrisius has a daughter, Danae, who is prophesied to have a son who'd kill Acrisius. Acrisius locks up Danae, who bears Perseus with Zeus. Acrisius sends Danae and Perseus away, but they are found and taken care of by a fisherman named Dictys. Polydectes falls in love with Danae and tricks Perseus into fighting Medusa. With the help of Hermes' unbreakable sword, Athena's mirrored shield, and the Hyporbeans' winged sandals, Perseus beheads Medusa. On his way home, Perseus saves a woman named Andromeda from a serpent and loves her. He brings home Medusa's head and turns Polydectes to stone. Ironically, the prophecy is fulfilled and Perseus ends up killing Acrisius at an discus throwing competition. Medusa's head is taken by Athena and put on Zeus's shield, the aegis.
