Theme of Love in Perseus and Andromeda

Superman has Lois Lane, Spiderman has Mary Jane, Mario has Princess Peach, and Perseus has Princess Andromeda. Like pretty much every hero ever, Perseus has a ladylove who he's willing to face down any villain for. No adventure story is complete without a little romance thrown in, and the episode of Perseus and Andromeda is one of the most famous love affairs of all time, a classic story of love at first sight. This story also brings in questions of familial love, when King Cepheus decides to sacrifice his daughter in order to save his kingdom.
