Chapter 6
In order to save her country, Andromeda was chained to a rock to be sacrificed to a sea monster. As the hero Perseus was flying back to his homeland after cutting off the Gorgon's head, he spied Andromeda, fell in love with her, killed the monster and rescued her. Andromeda is the female equivalent of Saint Sebastian in the eroticism of domination and submission.
