About Andromeda
Andromeda is underneath the W of Cassiopeia. Andromeda is V shaped.

Mythology: Cassiopeia taunted the seagod until he couldn't take it anymore so he chained Andromeda to a rock for a sacrifice to a sea monster. Persius says he will save Andromeda if she will marry him. She said yes so he cuts the monster's head off. Relatives interrupt the wedding and Cassiopeia and Cepieus lose their life poseidon puts them in the sky, and once Andromeda dies eventually she goes in the sky too.
