Perseus Andromeda Rescue

myth:perseus_andromeda_rescue

Cassiopeia, queen of Aethiopia, boasted herself or her daughter fairer than the sea-nymphs; in wrath the sea sent a flood and the monster Cetus, and to appease it King Cepheus chained his daughter Andromeda to a rock at the shore. Perseus, flying past, struck the beast dead, freed the princess, and won her as his bride. — Greek myth
