The Legend of Strings

Mercury is the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology. One day he was walking along the Nile River and accidentally stepped on something that made a wonderful sound. He picked it up and saw that it was an empty turtle shell with a dry tendon attached to the inside. So Mercury was inspired by it and invented the stringed instrument. Later generations have verified that string instruments appeared before Mercury, but the invention of string instruments may have been inspired by this.
