The waters of the great river have fed various myths and legends. The best known is the myth of Phaethon. Once in the chariot of the Sun, not having the necessary strength to lead the father's winged horses, he loses control of the chariot. The horses, in fact, frightened, began to run wild for the celestial vault, climbing first too high, burning a stretch of sky that became the Milky Way. Then they descended too close to the earth, devastating some territories that became deserts. To save the Earth, Zeus, angry, throws a lightning bolt against Phaethon, who falls, thus, at the mouth of the Eridanos river and dies. The Heliades, sisters of Phaethon, cry his death inconsolably and are transformed into poplars. Their tears have turned to amber. Even a friend of Phaethon, Cycnus, cries him on the banks, until the gods, pitying him, turn him into a candid bird, the swan. • In their adventurous navigations, the Argonauts had gone as far as the waters of the Eridanos (present-day Po river) where Phaethon had fallen. They found the still smoking body that smelled so much that even the birds died instantly. The fetid or stinking smell would therefore derive from this myth. The myth of Phaethon inspired the Barafoetida: Bara as coffin in english (which stands for sarcophagus, that is, the land that serves as the tomb of Phaethon, or the Polesine land, the Po delta) and foetida as fetid in latin language from foetidus Phaethon. • https://www.barafoetida.com/ • / barafoetida • / barafoetida2016 • https://barafoetida.bandcamp.com/
