Cassiepeia the wife of Cepheus in Acthiopia, and mother of Andromeda, whose beauty she extolled above that of the Nereids. This pride became the cause of her misfortunes, for Poseidon (whose wife Amphitrite was a Nereid) sent a monster into the country which ravaged the land, and to which Andromeda was to be sacrificed. But Perseus saved her life. According to other accounts Cassiepeia boasted that she herself surpassed the Nereids in beauty, and for this reason she was represented, when placed among the stars, as turning backwards.

Why is Queen Elizabeth a rolemodel to Shakespeare?

Queen Elizabeth was not a role model to Shakespeare. Shakespeare had no desire to base his life on hers. He did not want to wear wigs, paint his face white, wear dresses with incredibly wide hips or do anything that Elizabeth did. She was the queen, of course, and there were laws about what you could write or perform that might offend her Majesty. But there is no reason to suppose that Shakespeare wrote anything with the queen specifically in mind. She (unlike her successor King James) was not his patron and he did not dedicate any works to her.


Was Shakespeare against Queen Elizabeth?

By no means. Shakespeare was generally very careful not to offend royalty, because doing that sort of thing landed you in jail and ruined your production. He and his company went to court to play for the Queen from time to time, and he didn't seem to have a problem with that. They did accept a sponsorship to perform Richard II from the Earl of Essex, who was trying to use it to stir up support for his planned coup d'etat, but they did it for the money, not because they didn't like the Queen.

Did Shakespeare write to please the British Monarchy?

Not really. He could not offend the monarch of course, and the king or queen might command a performance of a play. However, Shakespeare's bread and butter was the public who bought tickets to go to the theatre. Those were the people he wrote to please.

As both the daughter of Demeter who grows substance for mankind, and Zeus, King of Heaven, it was not done on earth to offend - let alone be a enemy of Persephone. Further she was Queen of the Underworld, that being where the dead dwell: that alone would assure doom to any mortal.
