Perseus transferred power over Serif to Polydectes' brother, Dictys, who once saved him and his mother, and he himself went to Argos with Danae and Andromeda. When Perseus's grandfather, Acrisius, learned of the arrival of his grandson, he, remembering the oracle's prediction, fled far to the north, to Larissa. Perseus began to rule in his native Argos. He returned Hades's helmet, winged sandals and a wonderful bag to the nymphs, and returned Hermes's sharp sword. He gave the head of Medusa to Pallas Athena, and she fastened it on her chest, on her sparkling shell. Perseus reigned happily in Argos.
His grandfather Acrisius did not escape what his inexorable fate determined for him. One day Perseus arranged magnificent games. Many heroes gathered at them. Among the spectators was the elderly Acrisius. During a competition in throwing a heavy discus, Perseus threw a bronze discus with his mighty hand. High, right up to the clouds, a heavy disk flew up, and falling to the ground, it hit Acrisius’s head with terrible force and struck him to death. Thus the oracle's prediction was fulfilled. Full of grief, Perseus buried Acrisius, complaining that he had become the unwitting killer of his grandfather. Perseus did not want to rule in Argos, the kingdom of Acrisius, whom he killed; he went to Tiryns and reigned there for many years. Perseus gave Argos into the possession of his relative Megapent.
