citharodist was playing to the big group of people one day and suddenly the bell went to announce that the daily fish catch had arrived and all the people at the gig promptly got up and left and went to get their fish as they were starving. A deaf man was left watching. The citharodist went up to him and said thanks for staying and listening to my music rather than going with all the others to get fish. The man was deaf and he said oh has the fish bell rung? When the citharodist had said it had rung the deaf man got up and joined the others.
Rhodes had three cities Ialysos Lindos and Karinos. They say Herodotus was from there. The Colossus of Helios Zeus was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. An earthquake caused it to fall at the knees and it was never resurrected. The Rhodians had a good autonomous state going on and were a sea faring nation. Halicarnassos was once Zephyrus. Glaucus.
