They then took a nap in the sanctuary and died in their sleep after being praised by all. If his daughter had a son, his son would take over the thrown. To avoid that, he locked up his daughter, danae in the brazen tower. While she"s up there, zeus comes to visit, shows up as rain, rains on her, and impregnates her. Acrisius doesn"t believe she"s impregnated by zeus. Orders danae and perseus to be placed in a box and sent off to sea.
