specific place Argive plain= riches territory in Greece for its physical remains from Greek Bronze Age or richer in its wealth of myths Mycenae=populous center for wealth and power in myth= founded by Perseus stories are closer to folktale than any other Greek hero later ruled by Atreus ----> then son Agamemnon who led Greek forces against Troy Heracles= Perseus' grandson Io- Zeus lusted surrounded her with mist and had his way with her Hera came to investigate mist on a sunny day---> Zeus turns Io into a cow Hera admires the cow--->asks for it as a present Tied cow to olive tree to keep her from Zeus surrounded my Agus monster= 100 eyes and never slept Zeus sent Hermes- sang a lullaby to make monsters eyes close god cut off Argus' head Hera placed eyes in tail of peacock, her fav bird Io was free--->Hera sent gadfly to torment her= stung constantly Io tells Prometheus story of her seduction and persecution--- leaves our discovery of the couple caught in the act gives her comfort- in Egypt, Zeus will touch her= regain her human form she will then be pregnant with Epaphus = future king of Egypt her descendant in the 13 generation (Heracles) will set Prometheus free Epaphus became king of Egypt and married Memphis Danaus = king of Libya had 50 daughters Brother Aegyptus wants the daughters to marry he 50 sons Danaids finally agreed after fleeing to Argos and being followed ordered his daughters to kill each of their husbands on the wedding night all but one did= Hypermnestra - Danaus imprisons later gave the rest of his daughters away as prizes Acrisius + Proetus = twin bothers who hated each other long struggle for power Acrisius took Argos, Proetus took Tiryns Acrisius wanted a male heir= Daughter Danae Danae would have son heir that would kill Acrisius Acrisius constructed underground chamber- imprisoned Danae Zeus fell in love with Danae came to her as a shower of gold that fell into her womb way in which Perseus was conceived Acrisius heard 7 year old Perseus from chamber-afraid to kill daughter and grandson placed them in a wooden box---> cast box out to sea unexpectedly saved by fisherman named Dictys they live with Dictys Dictys brother Polydectes = king of island, desired Danae as his mistress Danae unwilling Polydectes pretends to want Hippodamia demands wedding gift of a horse from every young man on island Perseus does not have horse----> agreed to bring back a Gorgon's head Perseus the Gorgon-Slayer no one had returned alive from encounter with 3 death dealing Gorgons---> Eryale, Madusa, Stheno eyes turn anyone who sees them into stone bronze hands snakes for hair golden wings only Medusa was mortal Athena appeared to Perseus and gave him exact instructions must learn whereabouts of certain helpful nymphs from the Graeae= sisters to the gorgons Perseus grabbed the one eye that the 3 shared --->demanded nymph location nymphs gave Perseus cap of Hades( made him invisible) winged sandals= fly through air leather pouch= conceal the Gorgon's head instructed him how to find Gorgons heroes need assistance to overcome the monster Hermes gave him steel sword Perseus flew to river Ocean slashed off Medusa's head out came the winged horse Pegasus= Poseidon's child also a Giant name Chrysaor quickly pushed snaky head into pouch and flew away Stheno and Euryale awoke and pursued him-- but could not see him (cap of Hades) Meanwhile- Polydectes woo Danae with violence Perseus walked into palace announcing capture of Gorgon head no one believed removes head from pouch= Polydectes and friends turned to stone at once Perseus establish Dictys as king of Island (fisherman) Hermes delivers Gorgon's head to Athena= ever after she wore it on her breastplate or shield Perseus and Andromeda latter addition to myth= Perseus flew first over Ethiopia or Palestinian coast Perseus saw Cerpheus' daugther (distant relative) Andromeda chained to a rock about to be devoured by sea-monster Ceto oracle revealed only the sacrifice of King's daughter would prevent destruction from flood sent by Poseidon Andromeda should have lived 4 generations before Perseus Perseus immediately fell in love with the Andromeda offered to save the girl if he could marry her parents offered him the kingdom as dowry failed to mention she was already engaged to Phineus (Cerpheus' brother) Phineus bust into the banquet with an army Perseus turned Phineus and men into stone w/ Gorgon head Persues and Andromeda bore a son- Perses THEN he returns to free his mother Danae Perseus wanted to meet grandfather Acrisius traveled with wife Andromeda and mother Danae entered athletic contest, threw discus that was blown away by wind----> struck Acrisius in the foot and killed him Heroes can be a threat to society even without meaning harm Perseus traded Argos for Tiryns, ashamed to inherit from the man he killed
