Perseus

Grandson of King Acrisius and the son of Zeus and the mortal Danae. His grandfather received a prophecy that his grandson would one-day overthrow and kill him, so he tried to keep his daughter from ever getting pregnant by locking her in a tower. Zeus said, “No, I want her.” Danae ended up pregnant. For her treachery, Acrisius threw her and her newborn son into a chest and set them out to drown in the sea, since shedding the blood of a relative was blasphemy. Zeus asked his brother to care for the two and brought them safely to the island of Seriphos. Perseus grew and went on adventures and ended up joining the funeral games for a king, Perseus threw a discus and unbeknownst to him, his grandfather was in the audience and the discus took a sharp turn, killing him…thus fulfilling the prophecy.
