Acrisius forced the servant Ariana to keep the story surrounding Seraphim's birth a secret and then threw his newborn nephew off of a cliff to ascend the throne himself.

Electra then killed Periander before he could hurt Heron, before she and Heron were taken to safety by Zeus, leaving Seraphim behind.ĭespite Zeus assuming Seraphim would be better off amongst his father's kin, he underestimated his uncle Acrisius' greed. Before Periander could execute Heron, Zeus arrived and stopped him. The king was swiftly informed that there were two placenta, which two placentas meant there were two fathers. Seraphim was born first, temporarily relieving the king, but Electra was still in pain. Enlisting the Oneiroi to alert Periander of his wife's infidelity, he threatened to kill whatever child she bore that was not his.

While Seraphim was the son of Periander, Heron was Zeus' child and this enraged Hera, Zeus' wife. Prior to his birth, his mother had an affair with the god Zeus and ended up pregnant with twins, one of which was Seraphim and the other, his brother Heron. Seraphim is the son of King Periander and his wife Electra.
