Perseus,
coming forth from the court of the king of the shades
{Polyaectes, the "all-recipient;" iroXtif and iixofiai),
proceeds under the protection of the goddess Minerva,
holding in his hand the harpe (upnn), symbol of fertil-
ity, to combat in the West the impure and sleril Gor-
gons: after this, to the East, he delivers An-
dromeda from the sea-monster, and becomes the pa-
rent of a hero of light, another Perses, a son resem-
bling his sire.
