One the most famous annual meteor shower is called the Perseids, and it reminds us a whole lot of the shower of gold, which brought the legendary hero into this world.

Perseus also has a constellation named after him.(Some guys have all the luck.)

We can only see John William Waterhouse's painting "Danae" in black and white, because the original painting as stolen. All that remains is a black and white photo of the original.

Perseus was played by hunk-about-town, Sam Worthington, in the recent Clash of the Titans movies.

In the Marvel Comics Universe, Perseus is the codename for a superhero in the Pantheon team, who's buddies with the Incredible Hulk.
