Electryon
In Greek mythology, Electryon /ᵻˈlɛktriən/ was the son of Perseus and Andromeda, and king of Tiryns and Mycenae or Medea in Argolis. He married either Anaxo, daughter of his brother Alcaeus and sister of Amphitryon, or Eurydice daughter of Pelops. His wife bore him a daughter Alcmena and many sons (Stratobates, Gorgophonus, Phylonomus, Celaeneus, Amphimachus, Lysinomus, Chirimachus, Anactor, and Archelaus). Electryon had an illegitimate son Licymnius by Midea, a Phrygian woman. The six sons of Pterelaus, King of the Taphians, descended from Electryon's brother Mestor came to Mycenae to claim a share of kingdom. When Electryon spurned their request, they drove off his cattle; Electryon's sons battled against them, and all but Licymnius (on one side) and Everes (on the other) died. Everes sold the cattle to Polyxenus of Elis. Amphitryon, Electryon's nephew and promised in marriage to Alcmena, bought the cattle and returned them to his uncle, but accidentally killed him as he threw his club at one of the cows. Electryon's brother Sthenelus seized the throne of Mycenae, charged Amphitryon with murder, and sent him into exile.

by: Serj TankianWe follow the ever falling rain
Electrons Protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe!
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Grapevines of thoughts lining the skies
Overwhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves though all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright, Storm shines bright
