Greek The fisherman, some say the
brother of Polydectes, who rescued the hero Perseus
and his mother, Danae, from the sea. Dictys took the
mother and child to the court of King Polydectes of
the island of Seriphos, in the Aegean Sea. Later he rescued
Danae once again, this time from the unwelcome
attentions of Polydectes. Perseus turned Polydectes
into stone with the head of Medusa as his weapon, and
Dictys became the new king of Seriphos.
