In Greek mythology, '''Perseus''' is a great hero, a demigod and the son of Zeus and Danae. He slays the [[gorgon]] Medusa and rescues Andromeda. The tale of Perseus and Medusa was artfully retold by [[Nathaniel Hawthorne]] in his story, "The Gorgon's Head."<ref>Hawthorne, Nathaniel (1852), ''A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys.''

In astronomy, '''Perseus''' is a not-very-conspicuous [[constellation]] located near [[Cassiopeia]]. The [[Perseids]] are an annual meteor shower, peaking on August 12th; the meteors in this shower appear to radiate from a center in Perseus, hence the name.

'''Perseus''' was also the code name for a scientist who passed secrets to the communist Soviet Union beginning in 1943 in Los Alamos on the [[Manhattan Project]], before the acknowledged spy [[Klaus Fuchs]] arrived, and continuing into the 1950s.<ref>http://www.lanl.gov/history/wartime/spies.shtml</ref>  The SVR (KGB) Colonel Vladimir Chikov identified the existence of Perseus beginning in 1991 in Russian periodicals, and then in a book in 1996.<ref>http://home.earthlink.net/~gwkern/books.htm</ref>
