PERSEUS AND THE LEGENDS OF ARGOS 507
Danaë and the Chest. Attic red-figure lekythos, ca. 470 B.C.: height 16 in. The infant Perseus,
already in the chest, reaches up to his reluctant mother. Acrisius gestures impatiently to
her to get in. In her left hand Danaë holds a perfume jar. (Toledo, Ohio, Museum of Art.)
