rescue of Andromeda

The rescue of Andromeda refers to a famous myth in which the princess Andromeda was threatened by a sea monster, Orion. To save her, her father, Cepheus, and her mother, Cephea, appealed to the hero Perseus. Perseus used his courage and divine gifts—like a special sword and a reflective shield—to defeat the monster and rescue Andromeda. This story symbolizes bravery, divine intervention, and the triumph of good over danger, and it’s also represented in the night sky by a constellation.
