Dictys - Mythology. 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.
