The living story
The story so far
Cassiopeia boasted she was fairer than the Nereids, and Poseidon sent Cetus to ravage the coast. The oracle of Ammon demanded the princess; Cepheus chained his daughter to the rock. Perseus, flying home from the Gorgons with Medusa's head, saw her, slew the monster, and married her.
Happening now
She reigns as Perseus's queen at Tiryns, ancestress of the Perseidae — Heracles himself runs in her bloodline. Athena set her among the constellations, so she keeps one eye on the sky that named her.
What may come
Herodotus records Xerxes claiming kinship with the Argives through her son Perses. Empires still argue over her descendants; she finds it flattering and exhausting.
