In The Earthly Paradise William Morris has made English the Doom of King Acrisius in such lovely wise, and in the main with such close adherence to the story as told by Ovid and other classical writers, as to render thankless the task of repeating it at length.

Jupiter, however, visited her in a shower of gold; and she bore a son, Perseus.
