The band found if they tried booking themselves, the club offered $100. Later they acquired an agent and when the agent tried booking it, the offer became $600 plus dinner and accommodation for four. Such an old story, the only thing lacking was murder. The dolphins saved Arion, the son of Apollo and Oneaea. He had won the riches of first prize at a music festival in Taenarus but the captain of the ship which was afterward taking him home, announced he would end his life and steal his riches. Arion asked if he could sing one last song and it was granted. After singing the beautiful song he lept into the sea. Music loving dolphins were there waiting, they swam to the source of the exquisite music and then whisked him off to Corinth where his patron Periander lived. When the ship docked Periander asked the captain and crew what had happened to Arion and they made up a story about him being detained by the lavish hospitality of the of the locals in Taenarus. Periander made them swear it was true and afterward showed them Arion, alive and well. Then he had the captain and crew killed on the spot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
