The fresco "Perseus Frees Andromeda" is a Roman work of art from the 1st century AD, found in the House of the Dioscuri in Pompeii and currently held at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The scene depicts the hero Perseus in the act of freeing Andromeda, chained to a rock as a sacrificial offering to a sea monster. Perseus, holding the head of Medusa, is shown loosening Andromeda’s chains, symbolising the victory of courage over adversity. This fresco is a significant example of the spread of Greek myths in Roman art and illustrates the skill of Pompeian artists in depicting mythological scenes with vividness and detail.
