From Cathay:
Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson)and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.
the movie was so-so.. haiz.. disappointed..
Is Perseus the son of Zeus or son of Poseidon (as in Percy Jackson & the lightning Thief)???
Found this online at
timelessmyths..
Perseus (Περσεύς) was son of Zeus and Danaë (Danae), daughter of Acrisius (Acrisios or Ἀκρίσιοσ), king of Argos, and Eurydice. Perseus was also a descendant of the heroine Io, who was living in exile in Egypt. A descendant of Io, named Danaüs returned to Io's homeland, and became king of Argos.
Acrisius was himself a great-grandson of Danaüs. Acrisius was the twin brother of Proëtus, his main rival over the throne of Argos. Proëtus to settle being king of the neighbouring city, Tiryns.
When Acrisius heard oracle from Delphi, he was told instead that a child from his daughter is destined to kill him. Acrisius fearing his destiny imprisoned his daughter in a tower. But the god Zeus, appeared in the form of shower of gold, had sex with Danaë (Δανάη).
(Apollodorus indicated another version of Perseus' conception. Apollodorus wrote that the real father was Proëtus, brother and rival of Acrisius. Proëtus had seduced his niece, so that Danaë became pregnant. Zeus as a shower of gold was of course the most popular version.)
Having found that Danaë had given birth to a son, Perseus, Acrisius locked both mother and child in a chest and threw them into the sea. Zeus asked his brother, Poseidon, to guide the chest to the island of Seriphus, where the fisherman Dictys found them. Dictys was a son of Magnes and a naiad nymph, brother of Polydectes. Magnes being a son of Aeolus, would make Dictys and Polydectes Aeolids.
When Perseus grew into a strong young man, Polydectes, who was Dictys' brother, was the king of Seriphus, fell in love with Danaë. Polydectes wanted to marry her, but did not want or like her son, Perseus.
Polydectes invited Perseus to a celebration. Polydectes falsely announcing his plan to marry a daughter of Oenomaüs, Hippodameia, and each guest had given a gift to the king. Perseus, who brought no gift, rashly promised to the king that he would give any gift that the king wished.
Polydectes couldn't believe his good fortune of getting rid of the youth, asked for the head of the Gorgon Medusa, knowing that the youth could never possibly return home alive. Perseus readily agreed. Only later, did Perseus realising the depth of his promise, founded that his task was seemingly all but impossible.
So now you know.. Perseus is the son of Zeus... =)
