The podcast episode "Andromeda and Perseus" adapts the classic Greek myth, focusing on themes of vanity, sacrifice, and love. Queen Cassiopeia's hubris angers Poseidon, leading to a flood and a sea monster, Cetus, threatening her kingdom. To save her people, Andromeda sacrifices herself, but is rescued by Perseus, who recounts his quest to slay Medusa, aided by gifts from the gods, including a shiny shield from Athena that allows him to defeat Medusa without looking directly at her. Perseus then defeats Cetus and ultimately marries Andromeda, after seeking her father's blessing, and they live happily ever after.
