Description


Andromeda, in Greek Mythology, is the beautiful daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopea of Joppa in Palestine (called Ethiopia) and wife of Perseus. Cassiopea offended the Nereids by boasting that Andromeda was more beautiful than they, so in revenge Poseidon sent a sea monster to devastate Cepheus’ kingdom. Since only Andromeda’s sacrifice would appease the gods, she was chained to a rock and left to be devoured by the monster. Perseus flew by on the winged horse Pegasus, fell in love with Andromeda, and asked Cepheus for her hand. Cepheus agreed, and Perseus slew the monster. At their marriage feast, however, Andromeda’s uncle, Phineus, to whom she had originally been promised, tried to claim her. Perseus turned him to stone with Medusa’s head. Andromeda bore Perseus six sons and a daughter. Rendered in Poser 8. Postwork done in Photoshop CS3. All comments, good or bad, are most welcome. Thank you to all the wonderful vendors whose products I used. Thank you for looking!
