About Andromeda: Visible in the Northern Hemisphere from August -
January, and visible in the Southern Hemisphere in November.
Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, the king and
queen of Ethiopia. She was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to
Cetus,the sea monster as punishment for her mother's boast that she
was more beautiful than all the Nereids (sea nymphs). Andromeda was
saved by Perseus when he turned Cetus to stone by using the
dismembered head of Medusa. The constellation's creation is
credited to the Greeks, but it is likely that they borrowed it and
the story from the Babylonians.
