How did Perseus grow up?
On and island with a fisherman and his mother.
Where did Perseus live?
He was born in Argos but raised in Seriphos.
What is perseus realm?
He was raised on Seriphos, and ruled Argos in the Greek Peloponessos; his grandfathers kingdom.
Why was perseus given such herculean task?
I'm not sure that Perseus' task could be called Herculean. By definition, a "herculean" task is one that requires great strength. Perseus' task, while daunting and certainly dangerous, didn't require any amount of strength to accomplish. He needed cunning and a strong wit, something Hercules seemed to lack. As to your question "WHY"... the king of the land in which Perseus and his mother lived greatly desired to make Danae his wife. Perseus always prevented it. So, to be rid of him, Polydectes held a feast, and asked that all those attending offer up a horse as a gift, knowing that as a fisherman, Perseus would have none to give. Offering up an apology, Perseus offered to the king anything else his heart desired. Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa, thinking that Perseus would never return.
Was Andromeda the mother of Perseus?
Definitely not- she was Perseus' wife. The mother of Perseus was Danae.
