## Behind the Scenes

### Movie(s)

*Clash of the Titans* (1981 film)
*Clash of the Titans* (2010 film)
*Wrath of the Titans*

**Princess Andromeda** is a main character in the *Clash of the Titans* franchise. She is the deuteragonist of the original 1981 film, a major character in 2010 remake and the tritagonist of the 2012 sequel. She is the princess of King Kepheus and Queen Cassiopeia.

In the original Andromeda is the princess of Joppa who falls in love with Perseus. However, her mother, Queen Cassiopeia, boasts thar her daughter was more beautiful than their patron goddess Thetis. Angered, Thetis sentenced Andromeda to be sacrificed to the Kraken in thirty days.  This leads Perseus in a quest to find a way to defeat the Kraken before the summer solstice

In the remake, Andromeda is adapted as the princess of Argos. Another difference is Hades issues Andromeda's sacrifice on a solar eclipse in ten days instead of an  the summer solstice in thirty days. Unlike the original film, Andromeda does not end up with Perseus until the second film. In the sequel, Andromeda becomes a warrior Queen who helps Perseus rescue his father Zeus from Tartarus, the deepest parts of the underworld, and defeat Kronos to save the world.

## Appearances

### Clash of the Titans (2010)

Unlike the remake, Andromeda and Perseus do not end up together. Perseus refuses to stay and be king and tells Andromeda she will be an amazing queen. Instead, Perseus ends up with Io. However, in an alternate ending, they end up together like the original film

## Relationships

### Perseus

Perseus and Andromeda met each other in Argos, where its people celebrated their "victory" against the Gods, where she offers him a drink after seeing how exhausted he is. The princess was the first person in Argos to show Perseus kindness, and immediately asked her father to let him go, as she did not want him to die for her. Andromeda later fell in love with Perseus after he saved her life. However, he was in love with another woman, who died on the journey, and felt that he was not worthy to be a king with Andromeda and served her better as a man. Perseus then bid her farewll and told Andromeda that she was going to make a wonderful Queen.

The two did not see each other for another ten years. During that time, she learned that Perseus had a son, but that his wife had passed away due to unknown circumstances.They had implied romantic attractions toward each other in Wrath of the Titans. Perseus gave Andromeda kiss, leaving it to the imaginations of the audience members.

Perseus is her husband in the Greek Myths an they might become spouses like the original.
