Hi. How are you? May I ask you about Algol Fixed Star? I have read is malefic star.

algol, perseus's claim to the head of medusa

Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danae and is the renowned slayer of Medusa. His story begins with his grandfather, Acrisius. Acrisius was the king of Argos and father of Danae. He frequently sought the advice of Apollo's Oracles and one told him that the sons of Danae would kill him. After hearing that, the king locked his daughter in an underground chamber. But nothing is ever enough to keep Zeus away from a mortal who catches his attention. The king came down to visit Danae one day only to discover she held Perseus in her arms. He locked the two in a chest and chunked the two out to sea. The chest washed ashore to the island Seriphos and was caught in the net of Dictys, the brother of the king. He offered Danae a place to stay and protected her from curious individuals. His brother, Polydectes, however fell in love with Danae the moment he saw her. She rejected him and Polydectes became resolved to win her hand. Perseus he saw as the only obstacle he had to remove from the equation. Polydectes pretended to become engaged to Hippodameia and by royal decree he commanded that everyone bring a horse as a bride-gift. Perseus was poor and asked what he could bring as an altnerative and was told the head of Medusa. Perseus wandered for days without finding the Gorgon. Athena (who gave him a bronze shield) and Hermes (who gave him an adamantine sickle) advised him to seek Medusa's sisters, the Graeae. They gave to him the impenetrable bag and winged sandals. Then told him to find the nymphs of the north who possessed Hades's Cap of Invisibility. He used the reflection of the shield to seek Medusa and beheaded Medusa unseen by her gaze. A solider and winged horse sprang from her neck. Perseus put the head in the bag and with it he turned the king who set his quest to stone like he did to Atlas on his trek home. The fixed star Algol is located on the outer edge of Perseus's constellation - it is said to be Medusa's third eye in his constellation. IN MY OPINION Algol in a chart can represent a) what you believe to be evil, b) the cruelty/rage you have in your life, c) your greatest weapon, and/or d) the power you have.

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS: zeus (5731 / h42), danae (61), medusa (149), hippodamia (692), athene (881), pallas (2), hermes (69230), and hades (h41)!

Hi everyone! This week I had an amazing opportunity to go see the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
