Arion

Arion was a poet and a musician that won a competition, and got a prize of lotsa gold. He decided to sail home, but when he was well on his way his crew told him that they would kill him to get his treasure.

Arion pleaded for one last request; that he nay be permitted to sing one last time with his lyre. He did so then jumped into the sea, where he was saved by dolphins who had gathered around to listen to him. He came home, and his brother helped him catch the knaves, whom they cursed.

I think this myth is supposed to mean that treasure bring more trouble than pleasure, and that the only things that matter are family and friendship; the golden F's. This is rather cheesy, but I guess it's true, and at the time the myth was written it was probably a novel idea.
