When they arrived at Seriphus, they discover that Polydectes had never really married, and Danae (Perseus’ mother) was forced to be his servant. Perseus was furious and with the head of Medusa, Polydectes became a stone statue . Perseus and Andromeda lived happily for many years and their descendants became great kings, but the greatest of these was Heracles. Later Perseus was killed by Dionysus.
