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.

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.
