She was supposed to have sprung from the sea one day, in a cloud of spray, and all the beings who dwelt in the sea, the sea nymphs and the sea gods and Neptune himself, rose with songs of gladness to welcome their queen. […] She went to Neptune, god of the sea, and told him her troubles. […] If she will give up her daughter Andromeda to the serpent, the sea nymphs will be satisfied, and the sea serpent shall trouble you no longer.” […] So she mounted a little rising knoll near the shore, and sprang into the sea. […] Since that day this narrow sea has been called the Hellespont.
