Danae - the daughter of Acrisius, King of Argos. The oracle
warned Acrisius that he would be slain by his grandson. The king ordered
Danae to be locked in her bedroom. Zeus
found out about Danae and came to her as a golden rain. As a result of
this love affair Perseus was born. Acrisius
ordered his daughter and grandson be thrown into the sea in a wooden chest.
