Description
-
In exchange for rescuing her from a close encounter with a serpent, Andromeda’s parents allowed Perseus to marry Andromeda. This image depicts the wedding ceremony of the two. Perseus is depicted wearing his armour and Andromeda is depicted wearing a long dress that exposes her breasts. Perseus is looking at Andromeda as he holds her hand. There is a crowd of people witnessing the ceremony, and one man on the right side of the image appears to be sacrificing a cow to the gods for the event.
