More Information about Cassiopeia Cassiopeia was introduced in The 100's AD by The Roman Astronomer Ptolemy as 1 of the 48 constellations he listed. In The Classical World Tradition, Cassiopeia is the Queen of Aethiopia and is the wife of The King of Aethiopia, Cepheus. Cassiopeia is also the mother of The Princess Andromeda. Cassiopeia was a very vain and boastful woman. She even dared brag about how she and her daughter Andromeda were more beautiful than the Nereids (Sea Nymphs) to The Classical World god of The Sea, Storms, Earthquakes and Horses, Poseidon. As punishment for her boastful tongue, Poseidon trapped her into the night sky for all eternity in a position where she is on her throne but always clinging on to it, so not to fall off. A boastful tongue will surely be cut off.
