 Andromeda is the daughter of Queen Kassiepeia (Latin: [[Cassiopeia]]) and King Kepheus ([[Cepheus]]) of Ethiopia. The mythology<ref>[http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/andromeda.html Ian Ridpath, online edition, "Andromeda", Star Tales]</ref> of her being married to [[Perseus]] and becoming the ancestress of the people of Tiryn connects her to ancient matriarchs. It is assumed that the actors are mythological figures without a historical counterpart. The visual representation of the constellation and the interpretation underwent strong transformations.<ref>Hoffmann (2025), Some Results on the Ancient Globes, Globe Studies – The Journal of the International Coronelli Society, 69, 4169.</ref>
