Andromeda was a princess in mythology. Her mother, the queen of Ethiopia, said that she was more beautiful than a nymph. To punish her, all of Ethiopia was going to be ravaged by Cetus, a sea monster sent by Poseidon. When the king asked an oracle how to stop it, they told him that they had to sacrifice their daughter, Andromeda. Her parents chained her to a rock naked, and waited for Cetus to eat her. The hero Perseus saw this happening, killed, Cetus, and rescued Andromeda. They got married, and went on to have seven sons and one daughter.
