Episode Description

In this quiet, emotional chapter of The Perseus Cycle, Harmonia returns to tell of Dana and baby Perseus---sealed in a wooden chest and cast into the sea by a fearful king. As they drift through salt and silence, Harmonia reflects on endurance, motherhood, and the strange attention of the sea itself. Washed ashore on the island of Seriphos, they are taken in by a kind fisherman---but the king of the island, Polydectes, watches with a different kind of interest. A tale of survival, soft strength, and the beginning of new danger.
