Perseus and his mother, Danaë, were banished to a foreign land by King Acrisius of Argos, who feared a prophecy that his grandson would one day kill him. To prevent this fate, he locked Danaë in a tower, but Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, resulting in the birth of Perseus. Upon discovering the truth, Acrisius cast them out in a wooden chest, which eventually washed ashore on the island of Seriphos, where they were taken in by a kind fisherman named Dictys. This banishment set the stage for Perseus's heroic adventures, including his quest to slay Medusa.
