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
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!
[to Poseidon]
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.
