Cassiopeia was the queen of Ethiopia who decided she was not only the most beautiful in the world, but she was also more beautiful than the Nereid's, the sea nymphs. As punishment for her vanity, her daughter Andromeda was chained to the rocks to be luncheon for the sea monster Cetus. Cassiopeia was also placed in a seated position the northern sky so that, as the for half the year she is seated upside-down, in a rather humiliating position, although she is often pictured still holding a mirror.
