The prophecy of Acrisius' death comes true when Perseus throws a disc to him. This disc targeted Acrisius’ head which later caused his death.
EXPLANATION
The story in the question above begins when Oracle of Delphi warns Acrisius, a King of Argos. Oracle warns that Acrisius would be killed by his own grandchild. Then he locked his only daughter, Danae, in the basement to keep her away from all men, worried that Oracle's prophecy would come true. However, in the story short, there is a chance Zeus became acquainted with Danae and fell in love with him.
With all his strength, he then took the form of a golden rain to enter the dungeon to meet Danae. From this meeting, Danae conceived a child and gave birth to a son whom they later named Perseus. One day at a competition, Perseus throws a disc which then targets the head of Acrisius which caused him to die. But Acrisius had issued an order to imprison Perseus. Besides, Perseus is required to chop off the head of Medusa Gorgon - a very scary monster. Gorgon monsters can turn anyone who sees it into stone. Perseus manages to kill the Gorgon Monster. Then Oracle's prophecy comes true. “Acrisius will be killed by his own grandchild”.
