Andromeda · the woman on the sea rock

Trapped by a man-eating giant, a hero must win free by wine, a burning stake, and a lie about his own name.

A goddess turns a landing-party into swine; to free them, a hero needs a god’s herb and a year’s patience.

Love visits a girl only in the dark and forbids her to look; a single lamp-flame breaks the spell.

To win a monster’s head that turns men to stone, a hero must never once look at it directly.

A prince walks into a maze built so no one can leave it, to kill the monster at its heart.
