There are lots of stars in the sky, and the 

stars together form a pattern called a 

constellation. A constellation is traditionally 

named after a mythological figure. Two of the 

constellations in the sky are Orion and 

Andromeda.

The king and queen of Aethiopia, Cepheus 

and Cassiopeia had a daughter named 

Andromeda.

Andromeda was very beautiful. Cassiopeia 

was proud of her daughter and constantly 

bragged about her beauty.

Cassiopeia even said that Andromeda was 

more beautiful than all of the daughters of 

Poseidon, the sea god. This made them 

very angry, so Poseidon decided to punish 

Cassiopeia.

Poseidon sent a huge sea monster called 

the Kraken to ravage the land of Aethiopia.

In order to calm Poseidon down, 

Andromeda was sacrificed to the monster. 

Unable to change Poseidon's mind, she was 

chained to a large rock by the ocean to 

await her fate.

Perseus was flying by. He was carrying 

with him the severed head of the Medusa. 

It had snakes for hair and was so ugly that 

any creature that gazed directly at it was 

turned to stone.

Perseus saw Andromeda and the dangerous 

position she was in. He quickly uncovered 

the head of Medusa, pointing it straight at 

the eyes of the sea monster. The sea 

monster quickly turned to stone.

Perseus and Andromeda fell in love and 

were married. Although, Cassiopeia was 

not very happy about their marriage.

The Greeks imagined that when Perseus, 

Andromeda and Cassiopeia died their 

images were put into the night sky as 

constellations of stars.

Orion was the great hunter of the part of 

Greece called Boeotia.

To win the hand of a fair local princess, 

Orion was set a difficult task by her father 

the King.
