Explaining what it means to serve perseus in greek fashion


Problem

In Chemnis [Egypt] there is a square sanctuary of Perseus the son of Danae, with palm-trees growing around it. The entrance to the sanctuary is an enormous stone gateway, by which there are two tall stone statues. In the outer courtyard there is a temple, inside which is a statue of Perseus. According to the people of Chemnis, Perseus often appears in their country (and frequently inside the sanctuary), and people find one of his sandals, which is three feet long. The appearance of the sandal signifies prosperity for the whole of Egypt. They serve Perseus in the Greek fashion, in the sense that they hold an athletic contest covering the whole range of competitive sports, with cattle, cloaks and hides as prizes.
