The fisherman, Spyros, finds a coffin adrift in the sea discovering the baby Perseus and his dead mother, Danaë, inside. Spyros decides to raise Perseus as his own. Years later, Perseus and his family are fishing when they witness a group of soldiers from Argos destroying a massive statue of Zeus and declaring war on the gods. Following the fall of the statue Hades commands harpies to massacre the soldiers then rises from the ocean destroying the boat Perseus and his family are on. Perseus fails to save his family and passes out on driftwood. The surviving soldiers take him back to Argos.
During a feast for the returning soldiers King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia of Argos compare themselves and their daughter, Andromeda, to the gods. Hades appears and kills the remaining soldiers but Perseus is unaffected. Hades realizes Perseus is a demigod and reveals Zeus is his father. Hades kills the queen, and threatens that in 10 days, the Kraken will be released and if princess Andromeda is not sacrificed Argos will be destroyed.
