If you're immortal, wouldn't you want your side piece to be mortal so they wouldn't hang around forever?

Imagine getting a clingy ex that was also immortal. "Remember that time we hooked up 8,000 years ago? We should get back together."

The Why: He was terrified of the prophecy/curse on his lineage, that the leader of the greek "gods" would always birth a legitimate (son) that would rise up and kill the father.

He did it to his dad, his dad did it, and it is basically why he's such a whore as well as why Athena birthed from Zeus' forehead, he had eaten her right from the womb as an attempt to erase her.

Acrisius was disappointed that he had no sons to give his throne, and asked an oracle for help. The answer he got was that his grandson would kill him. At that point, Danae was childless, and to keep the prophecy from coming true, Acrisius locked her in a tower. However, Zeus had seen Danae and had grown fond of her; so, during the night, he appeared to her in the form of golden rain and impregnated her. She gave birth to a baby, which she named Perseus.
