Princess Andromeda Quotes in Clash of the Titans (1981)

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.
