Of Kassiepeia: Sophocles the tragic poet tells in his Andromeda how this woman by quarrelling with the Nereides about her beauty, came to grief, in that Poseidon sent a monster to ravage the land. For this reason, the daughter was offered to the monster.
Monster: This is what Poseidon sent to Kepheus because of Kassiepeia being angry with the Nereides about her beauty; but Perseus killed it, and because of this was placed in the stars as a memorial of his exploit.

Iobates – p. 268 [The following is a translation of Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, ed. A. Nauck [2nd ed. 1889], pp. 194-195]
We do not know the story of Sophokles’s play. It could be that some comments in Schol. AB Il. Z 155 are relevant here: “Anteia, wife of Proitos, lusting for Bellerophon, demanded that he go to bed with her: but he, having regard for decency, refused. Anteia, was afraid that he would get in first with Proitos and denounce her lust, so she accused Bellerophon, claiming he had forced himself upon her. Proitos did not want to kill Bellerophon with his own hand, so he sent him to Lykia, to his father-in-law, Iobates, bearing – unawares – written messages. Iobates tested him with many trials, and when he saw that he survived them all, he suspected that a terrible slander was being contrived against his guest – He then gave him his own daughter, Kasandra, in marriage, and a share of his kingdom. – The story is in the Tales from the Tragedies* of Asklepiades.
