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.
The Andromeda Strain (miniseries) The scientists begin their analysis of the Andromeda strain by recovering a sample from inside the satellite. They initially discover that the microorganism contains large numbers of buckyballs, and the team believes Andromeda is a product of advanced synthetic biology. The team hypothesizes that Andromeda may also have an extraterrestrial origin, as it has no DNA or amino acids. The team discovers Andromeda is an airborne microorganism that kills its host by entering the bloodstream through the lungs and coagulating the blood in the body, causing death within 10 seconds via a blood clot in the brain.
