In greek mytholgy who was the musician whos song brought dolphins to rescue him?

Answer 1

ARION
His father is POSEIDON, who had a fling with Oneaea, one of the sea NYMPHS.
He grew up to embrace stardom as a musician with his amazing cithara-playing. (What is a cithara, you ask? It's a musical instrument, of course. Obviously!) He was the nearest thing to a pop star and played to large audiences at festivals.
Returning from a gig in Sicily loaded with riches, the crew decided to rob him. He offered to give them all his goodies, but they wanted to kill him anyway. They couldn't take the chance he might talk. So he asked if he could sing instead — a final song.
This was granted, so he stood on the prow of the ship with his cithara... then suddenly jumped into the sea. He preferred suicide to murder. But he even had fans in the sea and some dolphins saved him.
Unobserved by the crew, who were busy sharing out the spoils, he was given a speedy lift home. He reached port before the ship — and did the pirates get a surprise. A deadly one.

Answer 2

Arios. maybe. read it form the source below.

In a similar vein, the Greek writer Herodotus tells the story of Arion, a lyre-player from Methymna employed by Periander, King of Corinth.

he was a musician who, on his way home on a boat, was threatened by the crew members to throw him overboard and take his money. tries to make a bargain but the crew members denied his bargain and gave him a choice to either kill himself or throw himself overboard. Arios asks if he could sing one last song. The crew agrees. After that, he leaps into the sea. Arion is rescued by a school of dolphins that have been beguiled by the beauty of his music and carry him to shore.
