Mythology
Cassiopeia and her husband were the King and Queen of Ethiopia. She claimed that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids. Poseidon sent the Ethiopian Cetus to attack the city. Cepheus and Cassiopeia went to the Oracle of Ammon and it said that the city could only be saved by sacrificing Andromeda.

Cepheus and Cassiopeia unwillingly chained their daughter to a rock at the sea and waited for the Cetus to come. Perseus, with Medusa's head came and turned the monster to stone.

Poseidon didn't want Cassiopeia to not be punished so he placed her in the stars in a chair in a position so that she would be upside down half of the time.
