Perseus and Andromeda

Just thought I'd post some of my favourite edits from one of my Greek Mythology Project shoots with James and Lucy playing Perseus and Andromeda in South Shields. Lucy played the beautiful young Princess Andromeda of the city of Argus who was chained to a rock to be sacrificed to a sea monster that had been unleashed by the Gods to destroy Argus when the Queen claimed that Andromeda was more beautiful than Aphrodite. Only Andromeda's blood would stop the beast so she willing allowed the people to chain her to a rock to be sacrificed to the beast. However, Perseus rescued her using Medusa's severed head to turn the sea monster to stone. She then married the hero and later became Queen of Argus who had a constellation named after her.
