Divine Justice and Human Betrayal
Poseidon:
It is done. As we feared, King Acrisius of Argos has abandoned his daughter and her child to the sea.
Zeus:
And he will be punished. Cruel and ruthless crime! Blasphemy! How dare the tyrant pray to me to forgive his savage jealousy...and cowardly revenge!!
Hera:
Acrisius has always shown devotion to the gods of Olympus in the past. He has built magnificent temples and dedicated them to you, great Zeus, father of the gods.
Zeus:
Hundreds of good deeds cannot atone for one murder. Thousands of temples, or statues, or sanctuaries, whether dedicated to me, or to you, Hera, my wife, or to Thetis, lovely goddess of the sea, or to you, Athena, ever wise and full of care, or Aphrodite, the goddess of love, nothing can wipe out or forgive this...one contemptible act of blood!
Hera:
Does it matter? The death of a girl or her child?
Zeus:
Girl?! His daughter!!
Hera:
After a lifetime's respect and devotion...
Zeus: [to Poseidon]
Enough! I've decided. Acrisius must be punished...and his people with him. My lord Poseidon, I command you to raise the wind and the sea. DESTROY ARGOS!! And to make certain that not one temple stands, not one creature crawls, I command you to let loose the last of the titans. LET LOOSE THE KRAKEN!! The kingdom of Acrisius must be destroyed!
Poseidon:
As you command.
Zeus:
But...be certain no harm befalls Danae or her son. Bring them safe to some remote and peaceful shore. Go now, swiftly.
