Arion

            Arion is a brave demigod who was very smart and sly. First, when he was trapped on a ship with a lot of robbers and thieves, he had to stall so he could formulate a plan of escape. The leader of the band wanted the jeweled sword that Arion was holding.  The man told Arion that he was going to die so that the sword could be taken and Arion could not tell the police. Then, Arion walked to the edge of the ship and started singing in his beautiful voice. A few dolphins swam by to hear him and they allowed him to jump on their back to escape. The thieves never knew what hit them. This way Arion could escape with his sword and get back home. If Arion was not smart, then he would have never gone home like the prophecy stated. In the end Arion showed just how cunning he could be.
