"Arion (I. ii., 15), a celebrated lyric poet and musician of Lesbos. He visited Italy, and became very rich through the exercise of his profession. When returning to Lesbos, the sailors who manned the ship in which he was informed him that they intended to kill him and seize his riches. He was, however, first allowed to play a tune, and when he had finished this, he threw himself into the sea. Dolphins, attracted by his music, surrounded the ship, and one of them carried him to Taenarus." J. Lees. ©1999-2021 Shakespeare Online. All Rights Reserved.
