Cassiopeia By. Ryeli
Constellation My constellation’s name is Cassiopeia , Cassiopeia is queen of Ethiopia or Andromeda's mother. It’s located in the northern hemisphere. It can be seen in November at 9:00 pm. It is part of Greek mythology.
Summary of Myth Cassiopeia kept bragging about how her daughter, Andromeda, was more beautiful than the sea nymphs. Because of what she said Poseidon sent a sea monster after her land. The only way to stop the monster was to sacrifice Andromeda so she was chained to a rock to be eaten. Perseus came down to rescue her. Cassiopeia was then sent to the heavens never to return because of what she did to her daughter.
