Arion in Greek Mythology – Origin Story and Adventures

Arion is a fascinating figure in Greek mythology—a divine, swift, and intelligent horse, often depicted with a black mane. His role in myth is not just as a remarkable animal, but as a character deeply entwined with the actions of gods, heroes, and kings. Arion’s myth illustrates the blending of divine and earthly realms, as well as themes of loyalty, speed, and power.
