Andromeda

Andromeda was an Ethiopian princess.

Mythology
Andromeda's mother claimed that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids. This angered the sea nymphs so Poseidon set the Ethiopian Cetus upon the city. The city could only be saved if Andromeda was offered up as a sacrifice. The people forced the King to sacrifice his daughter but she was saved by Perseus who slayed Medusa and used her head to turn the Cetus to stone.

Phineas, Andromeda's uncle who was set to be married to Andromeda, started a fight with Perseus at their wedding. Phineas was turned to stone by Medusa's head.

Andromeda was placed among the stars after her death.
