Cassiopeia

Description:
According to Greek mythology, Kassiopeia was the wife of the Aithiopian king Kepheus and mother of Andromeda. The vain cassiopeia drew the wrath of the gods, claiming to be even more beautiful than the Nereids, the daughters of the sea god Nereus. The Nereids turned to Poseidon for the insult, who then emitted a terrible sea monster that devastated the country's shores. According to an oracle, the country could only be freed from the curse if Andromeda, the only child of the royal couple, were sacrificed to the monster. Andromeda was finally chained to a rock and awaited her cruel fate. At the last moment the hero Perseus hurried over and killed the beast. As a reward, he received Andromeda as a wife.
