On the way back to Seriphos Island（塞里福斯岛，珀尔修斯在此斩杀美杜莎并取其首级）, Perseus（珀尔修斯） stopped in the kingdom of Ethiopia（埃塞俄比亚，今非洲东部一国家）. This mythical Ethiopia was ruled by King Cepheus（刻甫斯） and Queen Cassiopeia（卡西俄珀亚，即天空中的仙后座） Cassiopeia, having boasted her daughter Andromeda（安德洛墨达， 即天空中的仙女座） equal in beauty to the Nereids（海神涅柔斯的女儿们）, drew down the vengeance of Poseidon（波塞冬）, who sent an inundation on the land and a sea serpent, Cetus（一条名为塞特斯的鲸鱼海怪，即天空中的鲸鱼座）, which destroyed man and beast. The oracle of Ammon（阿蒙神，古代埃及的太阳神） announced that no relief would be found until the king exposed his daughter Andromeda to the monster, and so she was fastened naked to a rock on the shore. Perseus slew the monster and, setting her free, claimed her in marriage.Perseus married Andromeda in spite of Phineus（菲纽斯）, to whom she had before been promised. At the wedding a quarrel took place between the rivals, and Phineus was turned to stone by the sight of Medusa's（美杜莎） head that Perseus had kept. Andromeda ("queen of men") followed her husband to Tiryns（梯林斯） in Argos（阿哥斯）, and became the ancestress of the family of the Perseidae who ruled at Tiryns through her son with Perseus, Perses（珀耳塞斯）.After her death she was placed by Athena（雅典娜） amongst the constellations in the northern sky, near Perseus and Cassiopeia.
