Andromeda

And I mean very quick.

Perseus must battle Medusa and the Kraken to save Princess Andromeda.

That's reductive.

Yes.

You know, Harry Hamlin not being great.

Yeah.

Judy Bowker as Andromeda, not great.

Very, very attractive to look at.

Find Perseus rising above the horizon and look at what's beside him.

To his west is Andromeda, still chained to that rock, still waiting, still having the worst Tuesday in Greek mythology.

We've told her story.

We've told her mother's story, her father's story.

He had done the impossible thing.

He had Medusa's head in a bag and he was going home.

Along the way, of course, he found Andromeda chained to a rock.

We've already told that story.

Look in one direction, and there is Orion.

Elsewhere, Andromeda.

Perseus.

Cassiopeia.

So they were like a whole load of them.

And one of them is the one that tries to get Andromeda, tries to kill Andromeda, and Perseus comes with Medusa's head and turns it to stone.

That's probably the most famous one that people might know if they think of sea dragons.

I think it's in Clash of the Titans.

Release the Kraken.

Polydectes, Phineas and his rival suitors to Andromeda.

Is that Ferb as well? Poor Phineas and Ferb.

Twenty-eighth.

Perseus wins Andromeda.

First, twenty-ninth.

Twenty-ninth.

For Obsyrtus, who drives his father, has lashed them till the blood runs.

The dust they raise darkens the air around them.

Perseus and Andromeda Are not these waves that wash the shore red with blood? Is this an Indian or Ethiopian coast? And what has this Grecian youth to do here in foreign and far distant lands? We see indications that a strange encounter has taken place.

A monstrous sea dragon used to rise out of the Ethiopian sea and coming on the land slay man and beast.

End of dialogue thirteen.

A Triton relates to the Nereids the story of the rescue of Andromeda by Perseus.

Triton, read by Adam Bielka.

Iphanassa, read by PseudonymousNood.

Doris, read by Phone.

That sea-monster of yours, Nereids, which you sent against Andromeda, the daughter of Cethias, did no harm to the girl, as you imagine,

while itself has now

perished.
