Danaë

Danaë (Greek: Δανάη) was the only child of King Acrisius of Argos and his wife Queen Eurydice. Acrisius was told by the Delphic oracle that Danaë would have a son who would kill him. Acrisius thus shut his daughter up in solitary confinement in the palace. However, Zeus, the king of the gods, came to her in the form of golden rain which conceived Perseus. Acrisius then abandoned Danaë and Perseus into the Mediterranean Sea in a wooden chest. They were washed ashore on the island of Seriphos, where Perseus grew up to embark on a career of heroism.

It was prophesied that Danaë would have a son who would kill her father King Acrisius, so the King grounded her for life to prevent her from conceiving. However, he underestimated the scheming of Zeus, who transformed himself "Mr. Shower of Gold," and conceived Perseus. Andromeda rescued the young man from Acrisius' wrath and married him. At the wedding, Danaë got into an argument with Zeus' wife Hera, but the two soon found a common grievance in Zeus' continued misbehaviour, had a good cry, and became the best of friends.
