Although the legend of Perseus opens with the prophecy that he will kill his grandfather Acrisius, and his abandonment with his mother Danaë, the prophecy is only self-fulfilling in some variants.
Iako legenda o Perseju počinje proročanstvom da će on ubiti svog dedu Areksija i njegovim progonstvom zajedno sa svojom majkom Danajom, proročanstvo je samoispunjujuće samo u nekim varijantama.
