Description

In Greek mythology, Andromeda is the daughter of the Aethiopian king Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia. When Cassiopeaia's hubris leads her to boast that Andromeda is more beautiful than the Nereids, Poseidon sends the sea monster Cetus to ravage the whole land of Aiethiopia as divine punishment. To save that land from the rage of gods, Andromeda is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, but is saved from death by Perseus.

This watercolor miniature, together with the upcoming Perseus, is going to be my contribution to the beloved Greek mythology.
