Who fathered Danae's son?

Explanation:
Zeus is the father of Danae's son in this myth. He comes to Danae in the form of a golden shower and conceives Perseus, making him a demigod-hero born from a mortal woman. This fits the pattern in many Greek stories where Zeus fathers heroes with mortal women, despite attempts by kings to keep such unions secret. The other figures listed—Poseidon and Hades as brothers and rulers of the sea and the underworld, and Hermes as another of Zeus’s offspring—are not the parent in this particular tale.
