He had a chest made and placed the two of them in it. This reason was because he feared Zeus and the Furies that pursue such murders. But for the same reason that he wouldn't kill his daughter, he wouldn't kill her son either. He was afraid now that Perseus was born because now his life is in danger. He screamed at Danae "Your child! Who is the father?" when she replied proudly "Zeus" he would not believe her. So, one day her son Perseus was discovered by his grandfather. This was very hard to keep from her father because of the narrow limits of the chamber. She kept the birth from her father because she wasn't even supposed to have a son which is why she is in the chamber in the first place. However, it was revealed that Zeus had visited her and she knew that the child she bore was his son. Danae felt like she was living like a prisoner because she was basically locked in the house all the time. But, one day while she was laying there watching the clouds go by a mysterious thing happened, and a shower of gold filled her chamber. This is where he shut her up and guarded her. So instead he had a house built of all bronze and sunk underground with part of the roof out so that the sun will shine threw. He felt that the only sure way to keep this from happening was to put his daughter to death. Once he heard this he had to make sure that his daughter did not have that son.

The god didn't only tell him that he wouldn't but she also told him that his daughter would have a son that would kill him. He took a journey to Delphi to ask the God if there was a chance that he would ever father a son. She was the only child but her father King Acrisius wanted a son.
