My daughter is far more beautiful
Than your shabby daughters
I do not fear your sea monster
As Andromeda will be rescued
By the invisible Perseus
Who will then marry her sweetly
In Greek mythology Cassiopeia the mother of Andromeda boasted that her lovely daughter was more beautiful that the Nereids
To punish her for her arrogance Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage the coast of Aethiopia
Andromeda was later chained naked to a rock as a sacrifice to the sea monster but is saved by the returning Perseus who slays the sea monster
