ANDROMEDA

Figlia del re etiope Cefeo e di Cassiopea. Quest'ultima si vantò di essere la più bella delle Nereidi che, offese, chiesero a Poseidone di punirla. Il dio mandò un mostro marino che devastò le coste del regno di Cefeo, finché, come aveva consigliato l'oracolo di Ammone, non fu esposta sulle rocce la figlia del re, Andromeda. Intervenuto Perseo, egli si disse pronto a uccidere il mostro e a liberare Andromeda, se costei gli fosse data in moglie. 

Daughter of the Ethiopian king Cepheus and Cassiopeia. The latter boasted that she was the most beautiful of the Nereids, who, offended, asked Poseidon to punish her. The god sent a sea monster that ravaged the coasts of Cepheus' kingdom until, as advised by the oracle of Ammon, the king's daughter, Andromeda, was exposed on the rocks. Perseus intervened, saying he was ready to kill the monster and free Andromeda if she were given to him as his wife.

EBE

Dea della giovinezza eterna; figlia di Zeus e di Era. Ebe era l'enofora, l'ancella delle divinità dell'Olimpo alle quali serviva nettare e ambrosia. Dopo la morte, Eracle fu accolto tra gli dei che gli donarono l'immortalità, dandogli in sposa Ebe.

Goddess of eternal youth; daughter of Zeus and Hera. Hebe was the enophoros, the handmaiden of the Olympian gods, whom she served with nectar and ambrosia. After his death, Heracles was welcomed among the gods, who granted him immortality and gave him Hebe as his wife.
