| | Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology: Dictys |
 | | After the death of King Polydectes, Dictys ruled the island kingdom. | | | Dictys gave shelter to Perseus and his mother Danae when the tide washed them up on his island. | | | They had been set adrift in a chest by Perseus's grandfather, who had been warned by an oracle that he would die by the hand of a son born to Danae. |

| | Because of the lack of evidence and the vagueness that surrounds Dares and Dictys, it is difficult for me to believe that these narratives were actual first hand accounts of the Trojan War. | | | Dares and Dictys are sixth century, medieval accounts of what went on during the Trojan War. | | | During the medieval era, these works were said to be more credible than those of Homer’s Iliad. |

| | And when Perseus 1, after having killed a couple of monsters and staged a massacre in the Ethiopian court, returned to Seriphos, he found that Dictys 1 and Danae had taken refuge in a temple in an attempt to escape the violence of Polydectes 1, who wished to marry Danae against her will. | | | After some time (for Perseus 1 was already grown up), King Polydectes 1 of Seriphos, who also was brother of Dictys 1, fell in love with Danae, but for some reason Perseus 1 opposed him, and he could not get her. | | | This is why Perseus 1 went to the king's palace, where Polydectes 1 and his friends were gathered, and turned them all into stone, by showing them the head of Medusa 1. |

| | Dictys Cretensis, (Dictys of Crete), alleged to have been of Knossus in Crete, was the legendary companion of Idomeneus during the Trojan War, and the purported author of a diary of its events, that was part of the raw material worked up by Homer for the Iliad. | | | With the rise in credulity in Late Antiquity, the story of his journal, an amusing fiction addressed to a knowledgeable and sophisticated Alexandrian audience, came to be taken literally. | | | Septimius brought out Dictys Cretensis Ephemeris belli Trojani, ("Dictys of Crete, chronicle of the Trojan War") in six books, a work that professed to be a Latin translation of the Greek version. |

| | When he reached Seriphos, Perseus found that his mother along with Dictys had sought refuge at the altars from the violence of Polydectes, so he entered the royal palace where Polydectes was entertaining his friends, and with his own face turned aside he displayed the Gorgon's head. | | | When Acrisius later learned that she had given birth to Perseus, not believing that Zeus had seduced her, he cast his daughter out to sea with her son on an ark. The ark drifted ashore at Seriphos, where Dictys recovered the child and brought him up. | | | Now some say that Proetus seduced her, which led to the hard feelings between the brothers, but others say that Zeus had sex with her by changing himself into gold that streamed in through the ceiling and down into her womb. |
