- Cassiopeia: Forgive. Forgive.
- Thetis: In 30 days, on the eve of the longest day of the year, your daughter Andromeda must be...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Thetis: Once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.
- Hera: Did he succeed?
- Thetis: Certainly not.
- Athena: What did you do?
- Thetis: Beat him at his own game. I simply turned myself into a shark.”“- Perseus: How may a mortal man face and defeat the Kraken?

Have fine sons, rule wisely... And to perpetuate the story of his courage, I command that from henceforth, he will be set among the stars and constellations. He, Perseus, the lovely Andromeda, the noble Pegasus, and even the vain Cassiopeia. Let the stars be named after them forever.”
