Analysis:
Maritime-Related Cults in the Coastal Cities of Philistia during the Roman Period Legacy and change by Simona Rodan. This book is mainly about ancient Palestine but chapter 2 is about Jaffa, which is actually heavily tied to Andromeda’s myth.
Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources by Timothy Gantz. Again, Andromeda isn’t the main focus but her chapter along with Perseus is insightful.
Brill’s Companion to Euripides, Chapter 41, Affective Attachments in Some Late Tragedies of Euripides by Francis Dunn. This chapter talks about other plays too but has some pretty insightful analysis. It’s the first time I’ve learned that Euripides Andromeda was one of the first ancient Greek plays *ever* to depict two ppl (Perseus and Andromeda) falling in love on stage.
Euripides' Escape-Tragedies: A Study of Helen, Andromeda, and Iphigenia among the Taurians by Matthew Wright. We don’t know much about Euripides Andromeda but it has some parallels to Euripides other non-lost plays, which this book analyzes.
Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity by Sarah F. Derbew. This book doesn’t talk much about Andromeda but it’s great for ppl who want to know more about blackness in antiquity.
