How was Perseus conceived?
Answers
Answer:
Danae conceived Perseus when Zeus, taking the form of a golden shower, impregnated her. Electryon is one of Perseus's sons. Electryon's daughter was Alcmena, Hercules' mother. The other sons of Perseus and Andromeda are Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, and Sthenelus.
Answer: Known for beheading Medusa, the only mortal Gorgon in Greek mythology and using the severed head (capable of turning onlookers into stone) as a mighty weapon, Perseus was one of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology. As his only son from Zeus and Danae, he was a half-god by birth. Aethiopian princess Andromeda, who became Perseus' wife eventually and bore him at least one daughter and six sons, was rescued from the sea monster Cetus by Perseus after slaying Cetus. Hisacles, the most complete Greek hero ever, was the product of Electron, the father of Alcmene. Thus, Perseus is both Heracles' great-grandfather and half-brother, the symbol of his descent and a worthy successor.
