Editing Andromeda (mythology) (section)

=== In novels ===

In the 1851 novel ''[[Moby-Dick]]'', [[Herman Melville]]'s narrator Ishmael discusses the Perseus and Andromeda myth in two chapters. Chapter 55, "Of the Monstrous Pictures of Whales," mentions depictions of Perseus rescuing Andromeda from Cetus in artwork by [[Guido Reni]] and [[William Hogarth]]. In Chapter 82, "The Honor and Glory of Whaling," Ishmael recounts the myth and says that the Romans found a giant whale skeleton in Joppa that they believed to be the skeleton of Cetus.<ref>{{cite book |last=Melville |first=Herman |author-link=Herman Melville |date=1851 |title=Moby-Dick |url=https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2701/2701-h/2701-h.htm}}</ref><ref name="Pardes 2005">{{cite journal |last1=Pardes |first1=Ilana |title=Remapping Jonah's Voyage: Melville's "Moby-Dick" and Kitto's "Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature" |journal=Comparative Literature |date=2005 |volume=57 |issue=2 |pages=135–157 |doi=10.1215/-57-2-135 |jstor=4122318}}</ref><!-- [[Julia Constance Fletcher]] (who wrote under the [[pseudonym]] George Fleming), published ''Andromeda, a Novel'' in 1885. --> [[Jules Laforgue]] included what Knutson calls "a remarkable satirical adaptation",<ref name="Knutson 1992"/> {{lang|fr|"Andromède et Persée"}}, in his 1887 {{lang|fr|Moralités Légendaires}}.

[[Robert Williams Buchanan]]'s 1901 novel ''Andromeda, An Idyl of the Great River'', updates the myth using characters in a 19th-century fishing community on the [[River Thames]].
