(Charles) Andromeda, and Other Poems Transcribed by David Price "Andromeda and Other Poems" by Charles Kingsley is a collection of poetry written in the mid-19th century. The opening poem, "Andromeda," draws from classical mythology, telling the tragic tale of Andromeda, a princess who faces dire consequences due to her mother Cassiopeia's hubris, showcasing themes of beauty, sacrifice, and the wrath of the gods. The collection likely delves into similar rich imagery and emotive storytelling, embracing both personal and mythological narratives. At the start of "Andromeda," the poem vividly portray a dark-haired Ethiopian community troubled by the sea and a terrifying sea monster. As Andromeda's beauty draws attention and incites the wrath of the sea goddess, her parents, Cepheus and Cassiopeia, face the dire choice of sacrificing their daughter to appease the goddess and save their people. The powerful imagery surrounding Andromeda's plight is underscored by themes of guilt, maternal love, and the harsh judgments of divine beings, setting a moving and dramatic tone that invites the reader to explore the full breadth of Kingsley’s poetic vision in subsequent works.
