Halcyon: from Greek mythoogy. The gods transformed starcrossed lovers, Alcyone and Ceyx, into halcyon birds (kingfishers). During seven days each year when Alcyone nested on the beach, the gods restrained the winds and waves. These became known as the "halcyon days", when storms never occur. ___ Herbert James Draper (1864-1920) English Classicist painter. Oil on canvas, Private collection
