Andromed is a proper noun in Greek mythology that refers to the princess Andromeda, daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. It also refers to the Andromeda constellation, which was named after the princess.
In mythology, Andromed is known for her role in the myth of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa. According to the legend, her mother Cassiopeia boasted about her beauty, claiming that she was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, the Nereids. This enraged the sea god Poseidon, who sent a sea monster, Cetus, to wreak havoc on the kingdom. In order to appease the gods and save their kingdom, Andromed was chained to a rock near the sea as a sacrifice to the monster.
However, the hero Perseus happened to come across Andromed and fell in love with her at first sight. Using the head of Medusa, he turned the sea monster to stone and rescued Andromed. They eventually married and lived happily ever after.
In astronomy, the Andromeda constellation is one of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is located in the northern sky and represents the image of Andromeda as she is chained to a rock. The Andromeda galaxy, the closest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way, is also named after this constellation.
