Song of Eruthros the far-sailor

The song of Eruthros is a popular tale among sailors, explorers and adventurers.

Summary

Traditionally the song of Eruthros is reinvented with each telling. Whether by bards or by children. A popular children's game involves a group of children stamping and clapping the rythem of Eruthos' song. One child at a time takes turns making up a few lines of the song. The children build upon each other's lines to construct a story about Eruthros' adventures. For example:
Child #1: Eruthros sailed to Alachia, to see those vile mage-lords.
Child #2 They locked him up, and took his dog. Said: "we'll sacrefice 't to our gods!"
