* 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 ariel mug.He's an angry young man, loves animals, and cannot chill out. He can bug people a lot, without even knowing it. He tries to be a know it all but he isn't. Honestly, deep down inside, he's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and always stands up for the right thing no matter what. He's a REALLY good friend and cares about you much more that you think he does.

Get the Arinjay mug.A Aries is anyone born with a birthdate from March 21st to April 20th. The moment you come across an Aries the first thing you will notice is their friendly nature. It is most commonly hard for an Aries to hold a grudge even though they can become easily angered at times. Most Aries will also never let you know they are hurt. They love making people smile and are very humorous and good looking with a great fashion sense.
