The daughter of the king of the Ethiopians, Kepheus (Cepheus) and his wife, Kassiopeia (Cassiopeia).
Kassiopeia offended the Nereids and, as punishment, Poseidon (lord of the Sea) sent a sea monster to ravage the kingdom; in order to stop the monster’s rampage, it was necessary for Kepheus and Kassiopeia to offer Andromeda as a sacrifice to the monster but before the monster could devour Andromeda, Perseus arrived on the scene and, using the severed head of Medusa, turned the monster to stone.
Now that Andromeda was safe from harm, a man named Phineus and his henchmen tried to kidnap Andromeda; Perseus also used Medusa’s head to turn Phineus and his men to stone; after these dramatic events, Perseus and Andromeda were married.
