Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia bragged to Poseidon, god of the sea, that Andromeda was more beautiful then any of his nymphs. So Poseidon sent Cetus the sea monster to destroy the land in which the king, queen, and Andromeda lived in. The only way to stop the destruction was to sacrifice Andromeda to the monster. So young Andromeda was chained naked to a rock in the middle of the sea. Then along came Perseus fresh from slaying the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus was attracted by Andromeda's beauty and made the king and queen promise that if he saved Andromeda that he could marry her as well. Then Perseus went to destroy the monster by skimming the water to confuse it then chopping of its head.

Andromeda can refer to any of these things.
Andromeda was not cursed; her mother Cassiopeia boasted that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids - of which the wife of Poseidon, Amphitrite, might have been one - in any case, Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage the lands until Andromeda's father Cepheus consulted the oracle, who announced that no respite would be found until the king sacrificed his daughter, Andromeda, to the monster. Perseus, returning from slaying Medusa, saw her and fell in love and asked her parents to marry her and they agreed and Perseus killed the monster and freed her.
