The story of Perseus and Medusa involves him passing a coastal city plagued by a vicious seamonster called Cetus on his way back from killing Medusa.

Perseus showed Cetus Medusa's head and Cetus turned to stone. He then took Andromeda with him on his journey home and later married her. Cassiopeia was the mother of Andromeda.

What is the history of Cetus?
Many cultures and people have their own fables about Cetus, but the basic idea every story has is: that creatures were sent by Neptune (Poseidon) to devour Andromeda, but were turned to stone at the sight of the Medusa's head. One of these creatures was Cetus, he can be found on the banks of the River Eridanus, and the side of his body is close by the constellation Pisces. This whale would have had to cross the constellation Pisces to reach Andromeda and Cetus was expected to devour her. However, on his way there Cetus was killed at the last minute by the hero Perseus.
