The Constellation Perseus Mythology and History The Greek Hero. The Medusa once had been a beautiful woman with long and glowing hair. So proud was she of her beauty that she dared compare herself with Athena, the Goddess of War. On hearing of the woman's bragging, Athena turned Medusa into a hideous monster. Where her long beautiful hair had once hung were now writhing and hissing snakes. So hideous was the sight of her that any human or animal who chanced a gaze upon her was instantly turned to stone. Perseus was a favorite of Athena and the wing-footed god, Hermes. Athena lent Perseus her bright shield and Hermes lent him his winged shoes. So equipped, Perseus set out and flew over sea and land to where the Medusa lived. The Medusa was sleeping when Perseus arrived. Silently he crept toward her, while not looking at her directly. So bright was Athena's shield that he could clearly see the Medusa's reflection in it and so he backed toward her and with a mighty back-handed blow cut off her head. Then with his eyes closed he seized it and stuffed it into the special sack he had brought along. Joyful beyond words, Cepheus and Cassiopeia led Perseus and Andromeda to their house, where a great feast and celebration were prepared. Perseus and Andromeda were married and led a long, happy life together. There first-born son, Peres, is said to have given rise to those people who became known as Persians.

Here Perseus appears as a classically-inspired, yet clearly Renaissance figure. He holds a sword, rather than the sickle of Hermes, as described in most classical sources.

Perseus Born: 2nd century BC Died: 2nd century BC Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing There are only two references to Perseus and these both occur in the writings of Proclus . They give no indication of where he was born or where he lived. His dates can at least be put within certain bounds by the information given, but our knowledge is still almost nil. The first reference says that Perseus is associated with the discovery of the "spiric" curves in the same way as that of Apollonius is with conics . The second reference is taken from Geminus and says that Perseus wrote an epigram on his discovery (see for example [1]):- Three curves upon five sections finding, Perseus made offering to the gods... All that can be deduced with certainty is that Perseus must have lived before Geminus . Less certain, but still very reasonable, is the belief that conic sections must have been developed first so he would then have lived after Euclid wrote in say 300 BC. The references do not really give enough details to be able to tell what Perseus discovered. We do know what a spiric section is.

51. The Mythology Of The Constellations: Perseus perseus was one of the great heroes of classical mythology. perseus accomplishesit, however, by the aid of Pluto, Mercury and Minerva. http://www.comfychair.org/~cmbell/myth/perseus.html

Perseus Perseus was one of the great heroes of classical mythology. He was the son of Jupiter and Danae, and is best known for his killing of the Gorgon Medusa. This was a rather complex task, as anyone who saw her hideous face would be turned immediately to stonethe Gorgons, according to Bulfinch, were "monstrous females with huge teeth like those of swine, brazen claws, and snaky hair" Bulfinch's Mythology . Perseus accomplishes it, however, by the aid of Pluto, Mercury and Minerva. Pluto lent his helmet of invisibility to Perseus, Mercury lent the hero his winged sandals, and Minerva allowed him the use of her shield. With the aid of the helmet and the sandals, Perseus was able to get within striking range without being detected by Medusa or the two immortal Gorgons. He then used the reflection on the shield to guide his killing blow, and flew off unharmed bearing the head of Medusa: He was bringing back the Gorgon's head, the memorable trophy he had won in his contest with that snaky-haired monster. As the victorious hero hovered over Libya's desert sands, drops of blood fell from the head. The earth caught them as they fell, and changed them into snakes of different kinds. So it came about that that land is full of deadly serpents. Thereafter, Perseus was driven by warring winds all over the vast expanse of sky: like a raincloud, he was blown this way and that. He flew over the whole earth, looking down from the heights of heaven to the land which lay far below

Greek Mythology Link - by Carlos Parada, author of Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology Perseus 1 Perseus 1 Perseus 1 was, as a child, cast into the sea in a chest together with his mother, whom Zeus had visited in the form of a stream of gold when she was held isolated. By accident, they say, Perseus 1 killed his grandfather, the man who had sent him and his mother into exile. Perseus 1 beheaded Medusa 1 , and later founded the city of Mycenae , where he became king. Prophecy and Birth When Danae 's father King Acrisius of Argos once questioned the oracle, it replied that Danae would give birth to a son who would kill him. Fearing that, he built a brazen chamber under ground where he guarded Danae . But Zeus had intercourse with her in the shape of a stream of gold which poured through the roof into the girl's lap. When her father afterwards learned that she had got a child, he would not believe that she had been seduced by Zeus , and putting her with the child in a chest, he cast it into the sea. However, mother and child did not perish; for the chest was washed ashore on the island of Seriphus, which is one of the islands called Cyclades, where Polydectes 1 was king.

PERSEUS The main body of Perseus, surrounding the bright star Mirfak (Alpha Persei), streams within the Milky Way to the left of center. Most of the stars clumped around Mirfak are part of the Alpha Persei cluster . To the right of center and a bit above Mirfak is the bright and famed eclipsing double star Algol, Beta Persei, which represents the head of the Medusa, one of the Gorgons. Three other "Gorgonea" wrap around to the right of Algol, from top to bottom Secunda (Pi), Tertia (Rho), and Quarta (Omega). Gamma is the brightest of the stars toward the upper left, while Epsilon, Xi (Menkib), and Zeta lie at lower right on a line roughly parallel to the bottom of the photo. Atik (Omicron) is just above Zeta. Tau is just up and a bit to the right of Gamma. Delta is the brightest star just down and to the right of Mirfak, while Iota is directly above it.. 53 Persei is directly down from Delta toward the bottom of the picture.

What is a Clinical Trial? Many naturally occurring cancers in pet animals closely resemble human cancer and provide meaningful systems for cancer research to benefit both man and animals. The veterinary facility providing the clinical trial, with owner's permission, may provide specimens obtained from the patient (blood, urine, and/or tumor samples) to basic researchers to gain additional information that may benefit present and future cancer patients. It is important to remember, research is not conducted on the pet itself. If you believe your pet with cancer might benefit from participating in a clinical trial or you would like additional information regarding a specific clinical trial, please contact us at: perseusmagic@erols.com. Dr. Kevin Hahn, Medical Oncologist, Gulf Coast Veterinary Oncologists Glossary of Clinical Trials Terms The following glossary was prepared to help you become familiar with the most common terms used in clinical trials. Adverse Reaction: (Adverse Event.) An undesired effect, sudden or over time, caused by the administration of medication and/or drugs.

Perseus Location: Northern Hemisphere Coordinates: Right Ascension: 03h Source: Greek Mythology The story behind the name: Perseus was the son of the Greek god Zeus and the mortal princess Danae. Perseus' grandfather, Acrisius, the king of Argos, was warned by an oracle that he would be killed by his grandson. Acrisius locked his daughter Danae in a dungeon to prevent her bearing a child. Zeus found a way into her dungeon disguised as a shower of gold. When the child Perseus was born, King Acrisius locked Danae and Perseus in a wooden chest and threw it into the sea. The chest floated to the island of Seriphos, where it was rescued by a fisherman who was brother to the island's king, Polydectes. Polydectes offered them protection and Perseus was raised in his house. Polydectes may have had an ulterior motive as he later tried to force marriage on Danae. The king tried to mislead Perseus by saying that he intended to marry someone else. Perseus was so relieved that he promised the king a rather extravagant wedding gift, the head of Medusa. Medusa was one of three sisters, daughters of Ceto and Phorcys, who was transformed into a hideous creature by the goddess Athene. She was angry at Medusa for having a liaison with Poseidon in one of her temples. Also known as the Gorgon, Medusa had serpents for hair, huge teeth, and a protruding tongue. One look turned people to stone. Athene helped Perseus gather magic equipment and gave him a shield to use as a mirror so that he would not look at Medusa directly. Perseus flew to the Gorgon's den with his winged sandals, and, using the shield as a mirror, cut off Medusa's head and buried it. The winged horse

Loggia dei Lanzi Perseus and Medusa Benvenuto Cellini bronze, 18 feet high Click here to go to Giovanni Bologna's Rape of the Sabine Women The triumphant Perseus Perseus, with a curved sword, a gift of Mercury, wears winged sandals, like Mercury's, and a helmet with wings (resembling Mercury's hat). Although blood gushes from the severed head of Medusa, this sensational subject is not treated with horror or drama. The torso Cellini, a goldsmith, carefully worked this large bronze. Like Michelangelo, who signed the St. Peter's on a strap across the Madonna's bosom, Cellini signed this bronze work on the strap which crosses Perseus's torso. The headless Medusa Blood gushes from the severed neck of Medusa, one of the snake-haired Gorgons, who could turn men to stone. The base and details Details of Jupiter, Perseus's father, and the multi-breasted Diana of Ephesus "Grotesque" details Mannerist sculptors like Cellini often use grotesque details. See, for example, Giulio Romano's Palazzo del Te and See also Cellini's Cosimo I This site has information on the Loggia dei Lanzi.
