Princess Andromeda : [to Perseus] In my mind's eye, I see, three circles joined in priceless, graceful harmony. Two full as the moon, one hollow as a crown. Two from the sea, five fathoms down. One from the earth, deep under the ground. The whole, a mark of high renown. Tell me, what can it be?

Princess Andromeda : [upon recognizing Perseus] You!
Cassiopeia : You know him?
Princess Andromeda : Only... from a dream.
[whispers in the crowd]
Princess Andromeda : I beg you, abandon me.
Perseus : Ask your riddle.
Princess Andromeda : In my mind's eyes I see... three circles joined in priceless, graceful harmony. Two full as the moon. One hollow as a crown. Two from the sea, five fathoms down. One from the earth, deep under the ground. The whole, a mark of high renown. Tell me, what can it be?
Perseus : Have courage, princess. What can it be? Three circles joined. Two moons and a crown.
Princess Andromeda : Tell me!
Perseus : The answer is a ring! Two pearls in a circle of gold! The ring of the Lord of the Marsh. The pearl ring of Calibos. Here, on the claw hand of Calibos himself!
[gasps from the crowd as he pulls from his cloak the severed hand of Calibos, the ring still attached]
Perseus : The ring. A gift from his mother... the goddess Thetis. Is that the answer?
[Andromeda hesitates in disbelief]
Perseus : Is that the answer? Tell me!
Princess Andromeda : [overcome with joy] Yes!
[cheers from the crowd]
Perseus : We fought in the swamp!
[the crowd silences]
Perseus : I spared his life on one condition. That he renounce his curse. There will be no more bonfires. No more nightmares. Light has conquered darkness. You're free.

Princess Andromeda : So little time together. So little time.
