Perseus Rescuing Andromeda, 1593–94. Oil on lapis lazuli 20.2 × 15.6 × 0.7 cm. St Louis Art Museum

Ἀνδρομέδα, Androméda, is the daughter of Cepheus, king of Ethiopia, and his wife, Cassiopeia. When Cassiopeia commits Hybris and boasts that she (or Andromeda) is more beautiful than the Nereids, Poseidon sends the sea monster Cetus as punishment. Chaining Andromeda to a rock as sacrifice is what will appease Poseidon (said the oracle). Perseus returning from his quest to decapitate Medusa, petrified Cetus and brought the princess back to Greece as his queen... [therefore interracial mix]

The mythographer Apollodorus states that Perseus and Andromeda have six sons: Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus, Electryon, and a daughter, Gorgophone. Their descendants rule Mycenae from Electryon down to Eurystheus, after whom Atreus attains the kingdom. The Greek hero Heracles is also a descendant, as his mother Alcmene is the daughter of Electryon.

Poseidon punished Cassiopeia placing her as a constellation (that resembles a chair) chained (in reference of Andromeda's ordeal).

Andromeda's myth has been popular since classical antiquity and is considered the forerunner to the "princess and dragon" motif. From the Renaissance, interest revived in the original story, typically as derived from Ovid's Metamorphoses.

GIUSEPPE CESARI, CALLED IL CAVALIERE D'ARPINO (ARPINO 1568-1640 ROME)

An angel in flight

[persephoneshellhounds]

Such a classic mortal blunder to lay my spine as it erodes, graceless, inelegant on Galatea’s cold, ivory arms; such delicate carvings can never be human, look human, feel human under my lonesome bones.

I long to see you flinch and break into fine, liquid, rain of dust blinding me, covering the walls of this room in a blameless shade of white: a new asylum ward for my kind of insanity, you say.

It envelopes like light around my awe and my forlorn limbs, tangled with Galatea’s unmoving ones. I look for comfort within brittle carcasses scraped of everything they could ever give.

The quiet persists eerily.

But here, Pygmalion’s gifts remain untainted: the apex of auger shells, the beak of a songbird the blunted ceriths, the rusty chisels all impaling my spinal bones. Yet the sculptor’s kisses, long erased, the careful carvings, long defaced, long reduced into a Grecian ruin. I bury my body on your arms yet they find no rest against the ghostly pleas of mammalian tusks.

How many for your fingers? How many for your hair?

Tell me, Galatea, were you carved to bear the weight of all the sea salt I swallowed as I drowned? Soften under my meandering thoughts; I long to see you flinch and break — like all the dead elephants — any reminder that you yield pliantly to the voice of the love goddess, that you were once turned human. Break now, your solid arms, under my own collapse over the sea foam caught on fire.

I am no longer bending and weeping to pick myself up. Here it all goes down and ends: my bones, and yours, burning, snapping. Nothing — nothing less glorious will last after us.
