-|con_description=The constellation of Andromeda lies in the northern half of the celestial sphere. It is bounded to the north by [[Cassiopeia]] and part of [[Perseus]]. To the east is [[Perseus]]. South of the constellation is [[Triangulum]], [[Pisces]], and [[Pegasus]]. Andromeda's western border is with the constellation [[Lacerta]]. The primary [[asterism]] that makes up the constellation looks like a bent "V" with the brightest star in the constellation, Alpheratz, at its vertex and the arms of the V moving to the east and north. Andromeda is high in the sky in the [[autumn]].

 Andromeda lends Alpheratz to the asterism of the Great Square of Pegasus. The constellation is also home to the [[galaxy]] [[M31]] to which the constellation often gives it's name.

 At this point our hero [[Perseus]] wanders onto the scene. Seeing the beautiful Andromeda chained to the rock he mistakes her for a statue until he notices her hair blowing in the wind and her tears. Perseus immediately falls in love for Andromeda. This causes Perseus to make an offer to King Cepheus, in that he will save Andromeda in exchange for her hand in marriage. King Cepheus agreed and Perseus then proceeds to dispatch the sea monster when it arrives in an epic battle that, amongst other things, causes the creation of coral in the seas.<ref name="powel">Powell, Barry, <u>Classical Myth</u>, 2nd ed.</ref>
