Page "Andromeda (mythology)" Paragraph 7

Andromeda followed her husband, first to his native island of Serifos, where he rescued his mother Danaë, and then to Tiryns in Argos.

Together, they became the ancestors of the family of the Perseidae through the line of their son Perses.

Perseus and Andromeda had seven sons: Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus, and Electryon, as well as two daughters, Autochthe and Gorgophone.

Their descendants ruled Mycenae from Electryon down to Eurystheus, after whom Atreus attained the kingdom, and would also include the great hero Heracles.

According to this mythology, Perseus is the ancestor of the Persians.
