History
Seriphos was once ruled by king Polydektes, brother of the fisherman Diktys, in Greek mythology. Once Diktys had saved Danae and Perseus, the daughter and grandson of the Argive King Akrisios, from the sea, Polydektes wanted to marry Danae. Perseus opposed this, and was tasked by Polydektes to slay the gorgon Medusa and come back with her head. Perseus did as asked, and when he returned, the sight of the gorgon's head turned Polydektes into stone.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the misthios Kassandra explored the area.[2]
