Cassiopeia

A Greek Myth

An ancient queen of Ethiopia, Cassiopeia was very beautiful. She also was very vein and spent her time bragging about her beauty. She boasted one day that she was more beautiful than the maidens of poseidon, the sea god who, when hearing of this got very angry. Poseidon punished the queen by placing her on her thrown in the heavens to be mocked. Every half night Cassiopeia swings around the North Star upside down and must hold on with her hands so she doesn't fall of. For one so proud of her Beauty it is a most humiliating position.
