 | | Perseus and Andromeda had seven sons: Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus, Electryon and Cynurus, and two daughters, Gorgophone and Autochthoe. | | | According to the iconography of the vase-painters, the gods Hermes and Athena came to his rescue. | | | Disappointed by his lack of male heirs, Acrisius consulted the oracle at Delphi, which warned him that, fated to remain without a son himself, one day he would be killed by his daughter's child. |

| | Cast adrift at birth because of a prophecy that he would one day kill his grandfather, Perseus is manipulated into pursuit of the hideous Gorgon's head by a king who desires his mother--and who is, of course, later turned to stone when Perseus displays his bounty. | | | Warwick Hutton offers a simple and direct retelling of the myth of Perseus from being cast into the sea in a wooden chest as a babe along with his mother, to being tricked by an evil king into fetching the head of Medusa, to rescuing Andromeda from a sea monster. | | | The vistas Hutton portrays, many of which suggest vast expanses of sea and sky under an unchanging, seemingly pitiless sun, form an eloquent, ironic commentary on the struggles and frequent cruelty of mankind--struggles to which not even the gods are inured. |
