Answer:
How was the Oracle’s prophecy given to king Acrisius fulfilled?
The Oracle's prophecy was fulfilled when Acrisius in his old age was struck by a discus that was innocently thrown by Perseus in a game.
Explanation:
Certain facts about Acrisius in relation to this story:
- In Greek Mythology, Acrisius is the ruler of the Kingdom of Argos.
- He has a daughter named Danae.
- He was the mortal Grandfather of the hero Perseus.
While acting as the ruler of Argos, Acrisius went to the Oracle of Delphi where he received a somewhat frightening prophecy. The oracle told him that his grandson will end his life and it does not matter where he goes to hide, that will be his fate. Fearing for his life and determined to prevent the prophecy from ever happening, the king imprisoned his only daughter Danae in an almost completely seal cell to prevent all man seeing her, thereby taking away any chance of her having a son.
Although this move kept her away from all men, the god Zeus saw everything and did not approve of it. Zeus during this time had already fallen in love with Danae, turn himself into golden rain and entered through the gaps in her cell. The rain landed on Danae’s lap which caused her to become pregnant with a son. After the infant Perseus was born, Acrisius had her daughter and grandson thrown into the sea while locked inside a wooden chest, hoping for nature to end their lives. King Acrisius’s reasoning behind this is so that the gods could not blame him for their deaths since it was the due of the strong waves and the water itself who would smash the crate on the rocks and drown the mother and child. Zeus, however, intervened by asking Poseidon to guide the floating chest to the island of Seriphos. And this is where Perseus grew into a fine young man.
Important events that happened from this point:
- Perseus went on his quest to bring back the head of Medusa.
- He encountered the three blind sisters who told him about the dangers of facing the gorgon.
- Perseus was able to slay Medusa without being turned into stone.
- He used the severed head of Medusa to kill the sea monster (The Kraken) to save the princess Andromeda after her mother offended the gods.
- Perseus married Andromeda.
As an old man, Acrisius stayed in the city of Larissa where incidentally unknown to him, Perseus attended and participated in the games that were being held there at the time. While competing in the disc throwing event, Perseus mistakenly hurled his disc towards the direction of the old Acrisius and hit him on the head which killed him. So although it wasn't as intentional as Acrisius had expected like an angry Perseus armed with a sword, a knife or a spear walking towards him, his grandson as good, heroic and humble as he was, did cause the death of his grandfather. And this is how the Oracle of Delphi's prophecy was fulfilled.
