Perseus holding the Sword of Eden while rescuing Andromeda from Ketos

Andromeda is the princess of Ethiopia in Greek mythology.

Biography

Andromeda is best known for how she was tied to the Aithopian cliffs as a sacrifice to the sea monster Ketos. Fortunately for her, the legendary hero Perseus saw her, and bested the beast. Andromeda married Perseus, they settled down to rule Mycenae and produced seven sons and two daughters, the Perseids.

Legacy and influence

In 2012, Clay Kaczmarek included Edward Burne-Jones' painting "The Doom Fulfilled" in a set of puzzles he'd hidden within the Animus for his follower to find. In Clay's puzzle, it was suggested that the sword wielded by Perseus was in fact one of the Swords of Eden.

Trivia

• Andromeda, meaning 'ruler of men', is a name which is derived from the Greek words ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός (anēr, andrós), meaning 'man', and medon meaning 'ruler'.
