I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn't really matter, right?
I know the picture of Helen is from Nolan's Odyssey, but What's the pic of Andromeda from?
Clash of the titans, 2010 . Was the only version of perseus I could think of.
Danke
Look back, lock back, Andromeda was black!
