if you were king acrisius would you do the same thing just to escape from his dreadful faith. why or why not?

From the whole story, we've come to understand that Apollo's oracle was inevitable. It was bound to happen unless Danae was killed before she could bore a child. King Acrisius couldn't kill his daughter because he feared the wrath of the gods. Although he made sure to keep her and her son, Perseus, away from him with all efforts. Sadly, in the end he was killed by Perseus just like how the oracle prophesied.

Therefore, if I were king Acrisius, I wouldn't have done the same thing as he did just to escape his dreadful fate. Instead I would keep Danae and Perseus close to me so that I could give them all my love and care as a father and grandfather while it lasts.

if I were King Acrisius, I would not do the same thing just to escape from his dreadful fate

According to Greek mythology, King Acrisius was told a prophecy by the oracle Danae that he would be killed by his grandson.

To prevent this, he locked his daughter away in a tower, where she would not have access to any man, let alone get pregnant.

Despite the king's efforts, the prophecy of the Oracle came to pass and many years later, he was killed by his grandson Perseus, thus showing the futility of his efforts.

If the positions were switched, I would not have done what the king did to try and escape the prophecy.

I would have accepted the fate and loved my child and her son, even though he is fated to end my life.
