Biography[edit | edit source]
Andromeda is best known for how she was tied to the Aithiopian cliffs as a sacrifice to the sea monster Ketos. Fortunately for her, the 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, among them the future queen of both Sparta and Messenia, Gorgophone.[1][2]
Legacy and influence[edit | edit source]
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.[3]
Behind the name[edit | edit source]
The name 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'.
