On his way home, Perseus rescued Andromeda, the daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus. She was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster, sent by Poseidon to punish her mother’s vanity. Perseus defeated the monster using the head of Medusa to turn it to stone, ultimately saving Andromeda and later marrying her.
