Andromeda (Ancient Greek: (Ἀνδρομέδη, or Ἀνδρομέδα) is a figure from Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of the Ethiopians.
In Greek mythology Andromeda was rescued by the hero Perseus from a sea monster, to which she was sacrificed.
Perseus had just defeated Medusa and flew past Ethiopia with his winged horse Pegasus when he saw Andromeda chained to the rock with only jewellery as clothing. He fell in love instantly and offered to save the wailing Cassiopeia and Cepheus to save their daughter and defeat the monster. In exchange he would marry her. The parents agreed and Perseus killed the monster, here a mass of a snake and a dragon.
We indeed see the girl with chains on the rocks, naked through which her legs, hips, belly and breasts are visible. Hey, the guy on the flying horse is in full military dress. He was a heros, son of Zeus and Danaë. The result is erotic and sensual.
