That is why, as has been said, this figure has been placed amongst the constellations. She herself is depicted seated against the chair. </blockquote><blockquote>Cassiopeia has a bright star on her head, one on each shoulder, one on her right elbow, a bright one at the tip of her right hand, a large and bright one at the small of her back, two bright ones on her left thigh, one on her knee, and a bright one on each corner of the seat. Thirteen in all.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Var. 2 (Κασσιεπίασ)''': According to the account given by the poet Sophocles in his tragedy Andromeda, she defied the Nereids in a beauty contest, and thus she fell into misfortune, and Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage her country. It is because of her that her daughter is exposed to the monster. Cassiopeia is depicted beside her daughter, [comfortably] seated in an armchair. </blockquote><blockquote>Cassiopeia has a bright star on her head, one on each shoulder, one on her right breast, a dim one on her right elbow, one on her hand, a large and bright one at the small of her back, two bright ones on her left thigh, one on her knee, and, on the seat of the chair on which she sits, one on each corner. Fourteen in all.</blockquote>
