Read the excerpt from "Perseus."

Fate willed it—or perhaps Zeus, who up to now had done little for his love and his child—that they should be discovered by a good man, a fisherman named Dictys. He came upon the great box and broke it open and took the pitiful cargo home to his wife who was as kind as he. They had no children and they cared for Danaë and Perseus as if they were their own.

This excerpt best shows that the ancient Greeks valued

beauty and gracefulness.
intelligence and hard work.
kindness and generosity.
independence and action.

Answer:

kindness and generosity.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the excerpt, Zeus wants Perseus and Danae to be risen by morally virtuous people. Therefore, they are found by Dictys and his wife, a kind childless couple who are so righteous that they have the generosity to give care and attention to Perseus and Danae as though they were their own children.
