In mythology
* Arion was a legendary Greek poet.
* Arion (mythology), an extremely swift immortal horse in Greek mythology
Arion (Ancient Greek: Ἀρίων, gen.: Ἀρίωνος) was a kitharode in ancient Greece, a Dionysiac poet credited with inventing the dithyramb: "As a literary composition for chorus dithyramb was the creation of Arion of Corinth," The islanders of Lesbos claimed him as their native son, but Arion found a patron in Periander, tyrant of Corinth. Although notable for his musical inventions, Arion is chiefly remembered for the fantastic myth of his kidnapping by pirates and miraculous rescue by dolphins, a folktale motif. Herodotus (1,23) says "Arion was second to none of the lyre-players in his time and was also the first man we know of to compose and name the dithyramb and teach it in Corinth". However J.H. Sleeman observes of the dithyramb, or circular chorus, "It is first mentioned by Archilochus (c 665 BC)… Arion flourished at least 50 years later… probably gave it a more artistic form, adding a chorus of 50 people, personating satyrs… who danced around an altar of Dionysus. He was doubtless the first to introduce the dithyramb into Corinth".
Arion is also associated with the origins of tragedy: of Solon John the Deacon reports: “Arion of Methymna first introduced the drama i.e. action of tragedy, as Solon indicated in his poem entitled Elegies".

Get the arizonasslut mug.Like peanut butter and jelly, these two people are opposites which is perfectly fine because they complete each other. God brought them togther to fall in love because they are meant to be together forever. Their love grows for each other everyday and they make each other laugh and the happiest they have ever been. No one has ever seen a love like their's because this love was made only for them. They're completely honest with each other, accept each other for their whole being, and have loooooong deep conversations on the phone. They're best friends and will love each other forever.
Happy anniversary <3 :)
