Danae was the daughter of King of Argos Akrisios and the mother of the hero Perseus in Greek mythology.
Biography
The only child of Akrisios, Danae was locked in a room of bronze when the Delphic Oracle prophesied that Akrisios would be killed by his own grandson. The god Zeus saw Danae, though, and smitten by her beauty, he visited her in the form of golden rain.[1]
In fullness of time, Danae gave birth to a boy, and trying to prevent the prophecy, Akrisios had them both shut into a crate and cast into the sea. The fisherman Diktys found them, and took them under his wing, raising Perseus.[1]
