The Story of Cassiopeia, the QueenCassiopeia was a beautiful woman who was fond of boasting about her beauty.The maidens who attended King Neptune in his underwater kingdom learned thatshe boasted of being far more beautiful than any of them. They demanded Neptunepunish her.Neptune sent a monster sea serpent, Cetus, to terrify all who lived along the coastof the country ruled by King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. The Serpent snatchedwomen and children whom he found on the shore. Troubled by this problem in hiskingdom, King Cepheus went to an oracle to find out how he could rid his kingdomof this horrible monster. The oracle’s answer was that only if he sacrificed his daughter,Andromeda, to the serpent would the maidens feel they had been avenged forthe way Cassiopeia had insulted them and ask Neptune to recall the serpent.Cassiopeia was placed in the heavens to be punished rather than honored. Sheswings every half night around the North Star. She is upside down in the chairin which she is seated, hanging on for dear life in a position most humiliatingfor a queen of old who was so proud of her beauty.Cylinder Guides• Greek Mythology D-24 •
