& Taras (son of Poseidon)

~ Taras ~

The name Taras was adopted from Greek mythology. In mythology Taras was the offspring of the sea god Poseidon and the nymph Satyra. According to legend, Taras was sailing off the coast of southern Italy when he was caught in a storm and his ship sank. Taras was saved from drowning by his father Poseidon, who sent a dolphin to his rescue. He climbed on the back of the dolphin and rode it to shore, founding the city of Taras where he landed. According to legend, when Phalanthus chased off the inhabitants of the area many of them were descendants of Taras himself.
