Perseus isZeusAfter the birth of his son, his grandfather Acrisius, the Argos king, will Perseus and his motherDanaePut it in a box and throw it into the sea: becauseOracleTell the king that his grandson will take his throne and kill him.Zeus blessed the mother and son who were drifting in the sea, guided the box through the wind and waves, and finally the box drifted to the island of Selifos, near the coast.There are two brothers on the island, Dickens andPolludectes, they ruled over the island of Herephos.Dictys was fishing at the seaside. When he saw a wooden box floating in the water, he quickly pulled it to the shore.When they returned home, the two brothers were very sympathetic to the abandoned victims and took them in.
Pollux, the brother of Dickens, fell in love with Perseus' beautiful mother Danae. He was bent on sending Perseus away, in case he destroyed his own good deed and that of his mother.Perseus had already seen through his face. At the banquet held by Pludex, he offered to send a gift to Pludex, but Pludex unkindly asked GorgonsMedusaThe head of.The brave young man was ambitious and determined to cut off Medusa's head.
Perseus packed his bags and went on his way.The gods led him far away. He was the father of the terrible monstersForcusPlace of residence.Perseus met Falcus' three daughters there:Graeae 。They were born with white hair. The three had only one eye and one tooth, and they used each other in turn.Perseus took away their teeth and eyes.They demanded the return of these indispensable things.He made a condition that they should show the way to the fairy.These fairies can do magic and have several treasures:Double flightShoes, a magic bag, a topDog skinHelmets.No matter who has these things, he can fly freely as he likes. He can see the person he wants to see, but others can't see him.The daughters of Falcus showed Perseus the way and got their eyes and teeth back.
When he got to the fairy, Perseus got three treasures.He put on his magic bag, flying shoes and a dog leather helmet.In addition, he alsoHermesI got a bronze shield there.Armed with these gods, he flew across the sea.There lived the other three daughters of Forkus, namely Goldilocks.The youngest of the three daughters, Medusa, was born, and Perseus was ordered to take her head.Perseus found the Gorgons asleep.Their heads are covered withSquama, without hair, with poisonous snakes on his head.They have boarsTuskThey have iron hands and golden wings. Anyone who sees them will immediately turn to stone.Perseus knew the secret.He turned his back and did not look at the sleeping women. Then he used the shining shield as a mirror to clearly see their three heads and recognize who they wereMedusa。AthenaHe also showed him how to do it, so he successfully cut off the head of the banshee.Perseus had not put away his knife when suddenly a winged flying horse, Pergasos, sprang out of the banshee's body, followed by a giantChrysaolThey are descendants of Poseidon.Perseus carefully put Medusa's head in the magic bag on his back and left there.At this time, Medusa's sisters sat up from their beds.When they saw their sister's body, they immediately spread their wings and flew into the air to chase the murderer.But Perseus, wearing a fairy's dog skin helmet, escaped tracking and pursuit.However, he also encountered a strong wind in the air, which made him shake from side to side.As he swayed pastLibyan desertThe little blood dripping from Medusa's head fell to the ground and became poisonous snakes of various colors. Since then, there have been dangerous snakes in many parts of the world.
Perseus continued to fly westward, and finally landed on the land of King Atlas to have a rest.There is a jungle with golden fruit on the tree, and a giant dragon is guarding beside it.Perseus asked for his overnight stay here, but was not allowed.Because Atlas was afraid that his golden fruit would be stolen, he ruthlessly expelled Perseus from the palace.Perseus was so angry that he took out Medusa's head from the magic bag on the spot, but turned his back and handed it to the king.The king was tall, like a giant.When he saw Medusa's head, it immediately turned into a huge rock, just like a mountain. His beard and hair became a vast forest, his shoulders, arms and legs became a ridge, and his head became a high mountain.
Perseus put on his flying shoes again, put on his helmet, and flew up into the sky with his magic bag on his back.He flew all the way toEthiopiaThis is the place where King Cyprus ruled.Perseus saw a young girl tied to a rock in the sea.The sea wind messed up her hair, and the girl was in tears.Perseus was so moved by her youth and beauty that he greeted her."Why are you tied here? What's your name, and where do you live?" The girl turned her back on her hands, and at first she was silent, afraid of talking to a stranger.If she can move, she really wants to cover her face with her hands.In order not to mislead strangers into thinking that she really isWhat did you doSo she wept and replied, "My name isAndromeda, the daughter of King Kepes of Ethiopia.My mother Cassiopeia once boasted that I was better than PoseidonNereusThe daughters of the sea are more beautiful.The sea nymphs are very angry.They had fifty sisters and asked the god of the sea to flood the whole country.The sea god also sent a monster to swallow everything on the land.The oracle announced that if you want to save the country, you must throw me, the king's daughter, to the monster to feed.The people immediately made a scene and asked my father to give up his daughter to save the country.In desperation, the king had to order me to be locked here. "The girl's words were just finished when the billowing waves came.A monster appeared in the sea, and its broad chest covered the whole water surface.When the girl saw it, she let out a scream, and her parents came quickly.When they saw that their daughter was in great distress, they were extremely desperate, and their mother was in pain because of guilt.They held their bound daughter tightly, but they could do nothing to save her.
At this time Perseus said: "You should cry. There will be time in the future. At present, the priority is to save people. My name is Perseus, the son of Zeus and Danae. I defeated Medusa. The wings of God let me fly high. If the girl is free and willing to choose a mate, she will look at me first.But as she is now, I will formally propose to her and be willing to go to rescue her.Are you willing to accept my terms? "The parents were glad to meet the savior and nodded repeatedly. They not only promised to betroth their daughter to him, but also promised to give him the kingdom as a dowry.While talking, the monster had already swam over. There was only one stone's throw away.When the young man saw this, he pushed his foot up and rose into the air.When the monster saw his shadow cast on the sea, it ran after the shadow angrily, as if it were aware that someone would snatch its prey.Perseus, like a vigorous eagle, swooped down from the air.He stabbed the monster's back with the sword that killed Medusa, and only the hilt was exposed.He pulled out his sword, and the monster jumped into the air in pain, then sank into the water again, struggling crazily.Perseus stabbed him again and again until black blood gushed out of his mouth.At this time, its wings were also wet, and he dared not stay in the air for a long time.Just as a rock appeared on the water, heFlapping wingsGently fell on the rock wall, and then stirred the monster's stomach three or four times with the sword.The waves carried its body away, and soon it disappeared from the sea.Perseus flew to the shore, climbed to the top of the mountain, untied the girl's chains, and handed her over to her unfortunate parents.He was treated grandly and became the son-in-law of a distinguished guest in the court.While the wedding was being held happily, there was a sudden commotion in the front hall of the palace, and a dull roar came from it.It turned out that Phineaus, the younger brother of King Cyprus, had brought a group of warriors into the room.He once pursued Andromeda, but abandoned her when she was in danger.Now he reiterates his request.Finius waved his spear into the wedding hall, and shouted to the surprised Perseus: "I'm here. You stole my fiancee, and I want revenge. Neither your treasure nor your father Zeus can protect you!" Then he put on a posture and prepared to throw the spear.Cepheus stood up from the banquet and shouted, "You are crazy! It was not Perseus who stole your fiancee. When we were forced to sacrifice her, you saw her tied there. Why didn't you go to save her yourself, but stand by and watch?" Phineaus could not answer. He stared at his brother and rival, as if thinking about which one to start with first.Finally, in his madness, he tried his best to face PerseusThrowHis spear.But his eyesight was poor, so his spear plunged into the mat.Perseus jumped up and threw his javelin at the door. The javelin flew straight to Phineaus.Had it not been for Phineaus jumping behind the altar, the javelin would have pierced his chest.Although Phineaus escaped, one of his attendants was stabbed in the forehead, and all the warriors came to fight with the wedding guests.The intruding warriors were very powerful and surrounded the king and his wife Perseus.Arrow likeLocustFrom all directions.Perseus backed against a big pillar, parried the enemy, tried to stop them from advancing, and killed one invading enemy after another.Later, he saw that his courage alone was no longer effective, so he decided to take the last move."I was too forced to do anything," he said. "I had to ask my former enemies to help me. Ask my friends to turn around!" After saying that, he took Medusa's head out of the magic bag and extended it to the approaching opponent.The opponent is rushing towards here blindly."Let your magic scare others," he shouted contemptuously as he rushed, "they will be frightened by your nonsense." But when he raised his hand to throw the spear, his hand was stiff in the air.The people behind are also doomed to turn into stones.At this time, Perseus simply raised Medusa's head so that others could see it immediately.In this way, he turned the last group of people into rigid stones.It was only then that Phineaus regretted that he should not have provoked such an uproar.He looked at the stone statues with different postures on the left and right, shouting the names of his friends, but there was no answer.He felt their bodies with his hands in disbelief, but they had become granite.He was so frightened that he changed his arrogance and begged desperately, "Spare my life! The kingdom and bride are for you!" Then he turned around.But Perseus did not want to forgive him."You thief," he scolded angrily, "I will erect a monument for you in my father-in-law's palace forever!" Phineaus dodged around, not wanting to see the terrible head, but it did not escape.At once, Phineaus turned into a stone with a horrible look. He stood there with his hands hanging down, looking like a lowly slave.
Perseus was finally able to take his young wife Andromeda home.Long happy days await him.He also found his mother Danae.But he still could not avoid bringing disaster to his grandfather Acrisius.Fearing the oracle, my grandfather fled quietly to King Pilaszi.At that time, a martial arts contest was being held here.He didn't know that his grandfather was here. He was going to Argos to greet his grandfather.Perseus was very happy to see the contest. He grabbed a discus and threw it out. Unfortunately, he just hit his grandfather.Before long, he knew who he had killed.He deeply mourned the dead, buried him outside the city, and exchanged the kingdom he inherited.From then on, the god of destiny no longer envied him.Andromeda gave birth to a group of lovely sons, who kept their father's honor.
Perseus and Andromeda gave birth to six strong sons, Perseus, Elktron, Steneros, Heleos, Mestol, and Alcaos, as well as two beautiful daughters, Golgophne and Oscar.The eldest son, Perseus, was born in Ethiopia.When Perseus and his wife left Ethiopia, King Kefus left him to inherit the throne in the future.Later, he becamePersiaPeople's ancestors, "Persia" and "Persians", derive from his name.
His second son, Elktryon, ascended the Inacos River and gradually walked out of the flat area on both sides of the Inacos River into the shallow mountain area.On the high hills surrounded by mountains, he found a piece between two connected mountainsTriangular zoneIt is very suitable for building your own business.This land is in the north of Argos, on the right bank of the Inacos River, not far from the Lerne swamp in the northwest.The new town he created was named "Michenai", also called "Mycenae", after his daughter."Mycenae" means "round head", because he especially likes his sword, and the handle of this sword is round head.He called his favorite sword and city-state "round head".Mycenae City is built near the mountains, commanding the surrounding area by remote control.The thick and solid zigzag city wall encircles the slope between the two mountains, leaving only one gate, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.This gate is famous“Lion Gate”。triangleMegalithiclintelA pair of powerful and rough lions are carved on the wall.Two symmetrical lions, one on the left and one on the right, set their front feet on the altar, with a stone pillar in the middle.

Perseus (about the third century BC) was a Greek mathematician with unknown experience. From the works of Proclus, we know that Perseus wrote about torusThisGeometryIt is formed by a circle (the axis and the circle are in the same plane) rotating around the axis. But Proclos said that the geometry is formed by a circle rotating around a point (not the center of the circle). The former is more accurate than the latter. The torus can be divided into three different shapes according to the positions where the axis and the circle are tangent, intersect, and separated, so that the torus can be obtained by cutting the spherical surface with a planeInterceptPelsius discovered three types of torus transects[1]
