• The Myth of Danaë Aug 2, 2025

  

  In the ancient city of Argos, there ruled a king named Acrisius who possessed great wealth and power, but lacked the one thing he desired most in all the world: a son to inherit his throne and carry on his royal line. He had only one child, a daughter named Danaë, who was renowned throughout Greece for her extraordinary beauty. Her hair was like spun gold, her eyes sparkled like sapphires, and her grace was so perfect that poets composed verses about her loveliness.
