Do you think the oracle’s prophecy to Acrisius will come true? Why or why not?
The dreadful oracle delivered to King Acrisius of Argos foretold that he would be killed by his own grandson. To prevent this prophecy from coming true, Acrisius imprisoned his daughter, Danaë, in a bronze chamber. However, Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, and she became pregnant with Perseus, the very grandson Acrisius sought to avoid. This prophecy ultimately led to tragic events in their lives.
Acrisius, the king of Argos, takes two significant actions to prevent the prophecy that his grandson would kill him. First, he imprisons his daughter, Danaë, in a bronze chamber to prevent her from having any interactions with men. Second, when he learns that she has given birth to a son, Perseus, he puts both Danaë and the infant in a wooden chest and casts it into the sea, hoping to eliminate the threat posed by the prophecy.
True. The Aztecs initially mistook Hernán Cortés for the god Quetzalcoatl due to a prophecy that predicted the return of the deity. Cortés arrived in 1519, coinciding with the timing of this prophecy, and his arrival on the coast was seen as a fulfillment of it. This misunderstanding played a significant role in the Aztecs' initial reception of Cortés and his men.

That Polybus dies of illness and old age and not at Oedipus' hands and that all prophecies may not come true are the reasons why the Theban royal couple, Jocasta and Oedipus, are happy to hear about the death of Oedipus' presumed father.Specifically, years before the action of the play, Oedipus hears a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. He is so horrified by the prospect and so frightened by the prophecy being carried out that he runs away from home. That he was no where near Polybus at the time of the latter's death give Oedipus and Jocasta hope that the rest of the prophecy will not come true either.
It really can't. People think you can change them, but if its a real prophecy, it will come true one way or another. If it's just rumored, then it's to scare the people in the prophecy.
In Greek mythology, Danaë (Ancient Greek: Δανάη, English translation: "parched") was a daughter of King Acrisius of Argos and Eurydice (no relation to Orpheus' Eurydice). She was the mother of Perseus by Zeus. She was sometimes credited with founding the city of Ardea in Latium. Disappointed by his lack of male heirs, Acrisius asked an oracle if this would change. The oracle told him to go to the Earth's end where he would be killed by his daughter's child. She was childless and, meaning to keep her so, he shut her up in a bronze tower or cave. But Zeus came to her in the form of golden rain, and impregnated her. Soon after, their child Perseus was born. None too happy, but unwilling to provoke the wrath of the gods by killing his offspring, Acrisius cast the two into the sea in a wooden chest. The sea was calmed by Poseidon at the request of Zeus and the pair survived. They washed ashore on the island of Seriphos, where they were taken in by Dictys, the brother of King Polydectes, who raised the boy to manhood. Later, after Perseus killed Medusa and rescued Andromeda, the oracle's prophecy came true. He started for Argos, but learning of the prophecy instead went to Larissa, where athletic games were being held. By chance Acrisius was there, and Perseus accidentally struck him with his javelin (or discus), fulfilling the prophecy. Too shamed to return to Argos he then gave the kingdom to Megapenthes, son of Proetus (Acrisius' brother) and took over his kingdom of Tiryns, also founding Mycenae and Midea there. Another version states that, angry that his grandfather tried to kill him and his mother, Perseus returned home and challenged Acrisius in his court. He took out Medusa's head from a sack and turned Acrisius and his court to stone.

AnswerIs it possible to cause a prophecy not to come true? Of course. Actually, many biblical prophecies have never come true. Or as some Christians assert, have not yet occurred. So, if you think something has been prophesied but has not yet occurred, perhpas it never will. In any case, you can simply remove the context in which it could occur, and then you know it will never occur.AnswerFor true prophecies, not completely. The prophecy that is fulfilled always remains exactly that - fulfilled prophecy. Others are still pending or may be in the process of being fulfilled.
