Cassiopeia

When Cassiopeia refused to let Andromeda and Perseus be wed, Perseus held out the head of Medusa which turned her and all of his enemies to stone. Poseidon placed Cassiopeia in the heavens, but to humiliate her he made it so that at certain times of the year she appeared to be hanging upside down.
