Perseus did not remain long after this bloody battle in the kingdom of Kepheus. Taking with him the beautiful Andromeda, he returned to Serif to King Polydectes. Perseus found his mother Danae in great grief. Fleeing from Polydectes, she had to look for healing in the temple of Zeus. She did not dare to leave the temple for a single moment. The angry Perseus came to the courtyard of Polydectes and found him and his friends at a feast.
