 Week 5 Post 2

    Danae was a symbol of virtue and purity. She became Christianized in the 14^th century. The story of Danae brings a more positive light to women. Though her father punished her in the beginning, she is never seen as a villain or wrongfully blamed. She is seen more as a strong figure, though her story is often overlooked because of the fame of Perseus’ story. The tale of Danae’s life is to teach the lesson that one cannot control their own fate no matter how hard they try. The lesson is mostly shown through the actions of her father.
