Legend / Myth |
Cetus was a large mythical sea whale that lived off the coast of Philistia. It was fed humans to keep it from hunger. It was put there because the Queen of the country upset the God Poseidon with her vanity. When Cassiopeia wanted to sacrifice her daughter, Perseus was there to save her.
