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. The people were sacrificing Andromeda (who Perseus fell in love with) to Cetus because it was ruining their lives and they were trying to placate it. 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. Cepheus, Andromeda's father, is also a constellation, as is Andromeda (chained to a rock).
In Greek mythology, Cetus is a sea monster sent by Poseidon to punish Queen Cassiopeia for her vanity. Perseus ultimately defeats Cetus as part of his quest to rescue Princess Andromeda. The constellation Cetus represents this sea monster in the night sky.
In Greek mythology, Chamaeleon is not specifically associated with a myth or story. The constellation was named after the chameleon, a small lizard known for its ability to change color to blend in with its surroundings. This name was given to the constellation in the 16th century by Dutch navigators.
In Greek mythology, the Big Dipper is associated with the story of Callisto, a nymph who was transformed into a bear by the goddess Artemis. Zeus placed Callisto in the sky as the constellation Ursa Major (Big Bear), with the seven stars representing her and her son Arcas, who was also transformed into a bear constellation (Ursa Minor).
Hercules became a constellation in Greek mythology as a tribute to his great strength and heroic deeds, particularly his twelve labors. After his death, the gods transformed him into a constellation as a way to honor him and allow his story to live on in the stars.
In Greek mythology, the constellation Leo represents the Nemean Lion that terrorized the region of Nemea. It had fur invulnerable to weapons, and was eventually defeated by Heracles as the first of his Twelve Labors. The gods then immortalized the lion by placing it in the stars as the constellation Leo.
The Roman name for Cassiopeia is the same as the Greek name, as the constellation was named after the queen of Ethiopia in Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Cetus is a sea monster sent by Poseidon to punish Queen Cassiopeia for her vanity. Perseus ultimately defeats Cetus as part of his quest to rescue Princess Andromeda. The constellation Cetus represents this sea monster in the night sky.
If by "the story" behind Boötes you mean the mythology behind the constellation, it's easy enough to peruse the tales. They are most interesting, and are set down in a nice article in the Wikipedia post on Boötes. Need a link? You got it. Always ready to help.

The stars within the Cassiopeia constellation have been there in the sky since before our pre-human ancestors turned their eyes to the sky to see them. The constellation Cassiopeia doesn't really exist in the skies; the constellations exist only in our minds, as a pattern that we recognize. The stories of Queen Cassiopeia come from Greek mythology, and are probably 4000 years old. We're not sure at what point the stories of the woman became conflated with the image of a throne or chair in the heavens, but this probably occurred about 3000 years ago. The constellations in the skies probably became entangled with the myths and legends when storytellers and poets wanted to point to something that they could see and use it as an example or image for the story.
the constellation
the story of Virgo is the same of that in Egyptian, isis, or greek or roman, venus and aphrodite, or in Christianity and catholics, mother Mary the virgin that gave birth

For the name part: if you look at the letters T,V,X,Q on your keyboard it somewhat looks like a "W" right? Cassiopeia was chosen cuz its a constellation near the big dipper and it looks like a "W". the five points of the W represent the 5 members of TVXQ. mottos are Always Keep the Faith/ Forever Believe/ Nothing is impossible for TVXQ/ Thank You For Waiting/and etc. (s/n: the story behind it and what it means is a really interesting and very deep meaning to it :) i personally find it intriguing and interesting :D ) hope this helps!

In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is often associated with the centaur Chiron. Chiron was known for his wisdom and skill in archery, and he was considered the greatest of all the centaurs. He was accidentally wounded by a poisoned arrow, which led to his immortal suffering. Zeus placed him in the stars as the constellation Sagittarius to honor his great contributions to knowledge and medicine.
