Magnesia owed its name to the mythological hero Magnes, a son of Aeolus,
who was himself the father of Polydectes, the tyrant of the island of Seriphos
where Perseus, still a baby, and his mother Danae landed after being abandoned
at sea by Danae's father Acrisius, and of Dictys, who found them and became their
protector against his brother who had fallen in love with Danae.
