  Perseus and Medusa

  In the ancient kingdom of Argos, a prophecy hung like a dark cloud over the royal house. King Acrisius had been told by the Oracle of Delphi that he would one day be killed by his daughter’s son. Terrified of this fate, the king locked his only daughter, the beautiful Danaë, in a bronze chamber beneath the earth, ensuring she would never marry or bear children.
