A bold tribute to the Sacred Dolphin of the Aegean and Ancient Greek Maritime Spirit where the dolphin, revered in ancient Greek religion and mythology as the sacred animal of Apollo and Poseidon, messenger of the gods, and protector of sailors, occupied a place of honour in the Greek world that made it the most beloved creature of the Aegean Sea, where the Minoan fresco of dolphins from the Palace of Knossos dating to around 1600 BCE represents one of the earliest and most joyful animal paintings in European art, where Greek mythology celebrated the dolphin as the animal that rescued the poet Arion from drowning after he leaped from a ship to escape murderous sailors, and Dionysus transformed Tyrrhenian pirates into dolphins as punishment for their impiety, and where the dolphin's association with intelligence, playfulness, and the sea's capacity for both beauty and danger made it the natural emblem of a civilization built around the Aegean and its island-scattered waters, and where the dolphin remains the most visible and beloved wild creature of the Greek seas, leaping alongside the ferries that connect Athens to the islands in an unbroken celebration of the Aegean's living spirit.
