Perseus said, "I would willingly risk my life to do so." to King Polydectes while he accepts the duty to repay the kindness offered to him by the King and the Fisherman.
This saying is from the chapter The <u>Gorgon’s Head</u> of <u>A Wonder Book.</u>
<u></u>
When Perseus and his mother Danaë were set afloat upon the sea, a fisherman helped them, who happened to be King Polydectes's brother. The fisherman is a kind-hearted man, an exact contrast to King Polydectes, who is cunning and wicked.
As Perseus grew into a strong young man, King Polydectes resolved to send him on a dangerous mission. As soon as such a mission was identified by the King he called for Perseus.
As stated in the book :
‘Perseus,’ said King Polydectes, smiling craftily upon him, ‘you are grown up a fine young man. You and your good mother have received a great deal of kindness from myself, as well as from my worthy brother the fisherman, and I suppose you would not be sorry to repay some of it.’
‘Please your Majesty,’ answered Perseus, ‘I would willingly risk my life to do so.’
