preparing for her future as a monster meal.

67. Perseus from the stellar atlas Firmamentum Sobiescianum sive Uranographia by the astronomer Johannes
Hevelius, 1690.
Perseus never did make it to Mount Olympus after he died. Unlike Heracles, he wasn't turned into a god. He was
turned into a constellation.
If you want to see Perseus these days, just look up into the sky find.
Just like in most of the paintings of him, he's up there holding the severed head of Medusa.
You'd think he'd stop bragging about decapitating her after awhile, right?

68. Perseus

69. Andromeda from the stellar atlas Firmamentum Sobiescianum sive Uranographia by the astronomer
Johannes Hevelius, 1690.
Andromeda is a princess pretty enough to make Perseus kill a monster.
Perseus drools all over her and fights a monster to win her hand in marriage.
After Andromeda's death Athena placed her in the sky as a constellation, to honor her.
Several of the neighboring constellations - Perseus, Cassiopeia, Cetus, and Cepheus - also represent
characters in the Perseus myth.
