Andromeda was the daughter of Cassiopea, the queen. As a punishment for her mother's bragging, Andromeda was chained to a rock as a sacrifice for whatever sea creature would come along and eat her. She was rescued from this predicament by Perseus, who later became her husband. Andromeda, Perseus and Cassiopea were all memorialized by the Greeks in constellations in the northern hemisphere skies.
