ANDROMEDA ROCK

Off the old town of Jaffa, before the harbor, you will see a little reef where waves break out. It's the rock of Andromeda. According to Greek mythology, it would be here that the Virgin Andromeda was chained naked to be eaten by a marine monster sent by Poseidon. He sought to punish the audacity of Cassiopeia, the mother of Andromeda, who would have said that his daughter was more beautiful than a Nereide. Offered in a sacrifice to calm the fury of Poseidon, Andromeda is finally saved by Perseus that she will marry.
