On his journey home, Perseus found an old weary Titan named Atlas. Atlas was nearing death so he asked to see the head of medusa. Perseus the flew along side of Abyssinia when he found a beautiful young princess chained to a rock. Once they were introduced, she told him she was being sacrificed to a dreaded sea dragon. The dragon was starting to appear, Perseus acted as a hero and defeated the dragon using Hades helmet and Athena's shield. Perseus flew to her father King Cepheus, he gave Andromeda, the princess, willingly to Perseus to be his wife. Before he settled down, he flew back to Seriphus to show medusas head. He then froze like a statue. In time Perseus and Andromeda became constellations.
