Bear witness, Zeus...
...and all you gods of high Olympus!
I condemn my daughter, Danae...
...and her son, Perseus, to the sea!
Her guilt and sin...
...have brought shame to Argos.
I, Acrisius, the king...
...now purge her crime
and restore my honor!
Their blood is not on my hands!
- Now!
- Ah!
It is done.
As we feared, King Acrisius of Argos has
abandoned his daughter and her child...
...to the sea.
Then he will be punished.
Cruel and ruthless crime! Blasphemy!
How dare the tyrant pray to me
to forgive his savage jealousy...
...and cowardly revenge!
Acrisius has always shown devotion
to the gods of Olympus!
He has built many temples
and dedicated them to you...
...great Zeus, father of the gods.
A hundred good deeds cannot atone
for one murder.
A thousand temples or statues or
sanctuaries, whether dedicated to me...
...or to you, Hera, my wife...
...or to Thetis, lovely goddess
of the sea.
Or to you, Athena,
ever wise and full of care.
Or to Aphrodite, goddess of love.
Nothing can wipe out or forgive...
...this one contemptible act of blood!
Does it matter?
The death of a girl and her child?
Girl? His daughter!
- After a lifetime's respect and devotion--
- Enough! I've decided.
Acrisius must be punished...
...and his people with him.
My lord, Poseidon...
...I command you to raise
the wind and the sea.
Destroy Argos!
And to make certain no stone stands,
that no creature crawls...
...I command you to let loose
the last of the Titans.
Let loose the Kraken!
The kingdom of Acrisius
must be destroyed!
As you command.
Yet, be certain...
...no harm befalls
young Danae or her son.
Bring them safe to some remote
and peaceful shore. Go now, swiftly.
No pity, no mercy. Why?
Zeus, your husband, loved the girl.
- Danae?
- She is very beautiful.
So beautiful that Acrisius grew
jealous and guarded her from men...
...locked behind iron doors.
But Zeus transformed himself
into a shower of gold and visited her...
...visited her and loved her.
Then why should I show compassion?
- Let her drown! With her child!
- The child, Perseus, is Zeus' son.
That is why he is to be saved...
...and why Argos is doomed.
Danae and her child have been brought
safely to the island of Seriphos.
Seriphos.
There let Danae and her child live,
safe...
...and happy.
Perseus, grown to a young man.
He's had a happy childhood. With
a strong body and a handsome face...
...what more could any mortal
desire or deserve?
And what of my son Calibos?
His crimes are unforgivable.
- Be merciful to him. Show pity.
- Impossible!
Calibos...
...had every advantage!
You, as patron goddess
of the city of Joppa, have spoiled...
...and indulged him since birth.
You gave him the Wells of the Moon to rule,
and what has he done?
Hunted and destroyed
every living creature!
He's trapped and killed
my sacred herd of flying horses...
...and now only the stallion,
Pegasus, remains.
- Your son must therefore be punished.
- No, I beg you. Be merciful.
He will become abhorrent
to human sight.
He'll be shunned and forced to live as an
outcast in the swamps and marshes.
He'll be transformed
to a mortal mockery.
The shameful mark of his vile cruelty.
This is my final judgement.
No, I implore you.
He is to marry Princess Andromeda.
He would rule all Joppa and Phoenicia.
Let the princess look upon him now!
Be comforted. He may change his mind.
Had it been his own child Perseus,
But for my son Calibos,
there is to be no mercy, no hope.
- And no marriage with Andromeda.
