Andromeda 9

Then Manilius goes on to give the astrological influences

The man whose birth coincides with the rising of Andromeda from the sea will prove merciless, a dispenser of punishment, a warder of dungeon dire; he will stand arrogantly by while the mothers of wretched prisoners lie prostrate on his threshold, and the fathers wait all night to catch the last kisses of their sons and receive into their inmost being the dying breath. From the same constellation comes the figure of the executioner, ready to take money for a speedy death and the rites of a funeral pyre, for him execution means profit, and oft will he bare his axe; in short, he is a man who could have looked unmoved on Andromeda herself fettered to the rock. Governor of the imprisoned he occasionally becomes a fellow convict, chained to criminals so as to save them for execution.

The wedding ceremony and wedding feast for Andromeda and Perseus as described by Ovid:

Without a dower he takes Andromeda, the guerdon of his glorious victory, nor hesitates. ... Cupidus [Eros] and Hymen wave the flaring torch, abundant perfumes lavished in the flames. The houses are bedecked with wreathed flowers; and lyres and flageolets resound, and songs – felicit notes that happy hearts declare. The portals opened, sumptuous halls display their golden splendors, and the noble lords of Cepheus' court take places at the feast, magnificently served

The prefix andro- in Andromeda's name means 'man' in Greek. The Greeks used the word andreia, for courage, with the sense of manly courage. The drug Androstendione, or simply known as 'andro', is a hormone, a direct precursor of testosterone, the principal male sex hormone. Greek andro-, andr-, 'man', from aner, genitive andros 'man', is cognate with Old Indian naram, 'man', naryah, 'virile', Sabine-Latin Nero, Welsh ner, 'hero', Old Irish nert, Cornish nerth, 'virility'. Compare Andrew, Andrias, andron, dandy, 'a fop', and the second element in Alexander, Ardhanari, Dianira, Leander, philander, sundari. Compare also the first element in anthropo-. Greek name -andros has the female counterparts in -aneira - Leandros/Leaneira, Deiandros/Deianeira.

Greek Andromeda is a compound of Greek aner, 'man', + -meda, the suffix -meda is from Greek medesthai, 'to be mindful of, give heed to, think on', or 'to meditate on', from Indo-European *med-, 'To take appropriate measures'. The suffix -meda of her name is contained in the names Medusa and the second element in automedon, Diomedes, Ganymedes (Aquarius). From this same *med- root comes the word 'modern'; the name Andromeda might also relate to 'modern man'?Her name itself provides few clues to her character that I can ascertain. I think the Indo-European *weik- words might relate to Andromeda because many of these words flow through her story. Manilius used vinctio ‘binding’ to describe her situation in being tied to a rock, and throughout the text uses the words; revinctam, revincio, to tie back, vinculum (fetter, also a small cord for binding the hands or feet), and vinclis (chain).
