I learned this from the Muses book I am reading now by Angeles Arrien. Much like Vainamoinen carved the first kantele from a pike, Hermes created the first lyre "by catching a large tortoise, cleaning out the shell, stretching cowhide over the opening...for the vertical frame, he used gracefully curving antelope horns to which he attached a yoke of wood...ancient writers, particularly poets, referred to the lyre as the "tortoise."<BR/><BR/>Wow -- that's really interesting! And the QOE sent me links about spider-lore that I will have to look at as well. So many things to fuel the imagination!C.
