Andromeda (play) Menelaus arrives dressed in rags. He then uses a parody of "Andromeda" in which the kinsman as Andromeda laments his fate to the response of his echo, Euripides as Perseus arrives via the crane, and falls quickly in love with her. In the parody, Perseus' love as depicted in "Andromeda" is transformed to lust. Aristophanes also referenced "Andromeda" in his 405 play "The Frogs", where the god Dionysus states that while reading "Andromeda" he was smitten with longing for Euripides. It has been reported from antiquity that Alexander the Great was able to perform a portion of "Andromeda" by heart.
HMS Andromeda (1897) HMS Andromeda (1897) HMS "Andromeda" was one of eight protected cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the 1890s. Upon completion in 1899, the ship was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet where she helped to escort a royal yacht during its cruise through the Mediterranean Sea. After a refit, she was assigned to the China Station in 1904 and returned home three years later to be reduced to reserve. "Andromeda" was converted into a training ship in 1913 and remained in that role under various names until 1956. That year she was sold for scrap and broken up in Belgium,
