Cetus
From the depths of the sea emerges Cetus, a fearsome monster with a scaly back, barbed fins and a tail as massive as a tree trunk, which it beats against the water with resounding force. Its mouth full of sharp teeth opens with a low growl, revealing rows of fangs ready to crush even the strongest ships. His eyes, red as fire, blaze with fury and his nostrils billow with sulphurous steam.

Sea nymphs
The nymphs, revered as protectors and givers of fertility, were deeply offended by the pride of Queen Cassiopeia, mother of Andromeda. The angry nymphs turned to Poseidon, who unleashed the sea monster Cetus on the kingdom of Joppa. Cassiopeia had to sacrifice her daughter Andromeda to appease the god and save the kingdom. The story stresses the importance of respecting the gods and warns against pride and contempt.
