(ΠεÏσεÏÏ‚) Greek myth name of the founder of Mycenae and the hero who killed the half-mortal gorgon Medousa.

And according to Carl Daling Buck in his Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin, the -eus suffix found in so many Greek names is typically used to form an agent noun. If so, Perseus was a "destroyer" by profession, i.e. a "soldier," which is a fitting name for this legendary hero.Â
