Arion

= = = = =By: Alex and Gabbie = = = =Arion, a semi-mythological poet and musician, about 625 B.C ago. Arion, after touring foreign lands and amassing a fortune through his famous talents, is returning home by ship, when the sailors decide to kill him for his treasures on board. He pleads to sing a song which the sailors cannot resist hearing and playing his lyre.  Arion throws himself into the sea, where a dolphin, charmed by the music, carries Arion safely away. Arion arrives home before the ship has even made it there. =
