Trivia

  • In Greek mythology, Alectryon was a soldier charged by the god Ares to stand guard while Ares and the goddess Aphrodite had a dalliance. Alectryon however fell asleep, and thus failed to notify the couple of the approaching Helios in time. As a punishment, Ares turned Alectryon into a rooster.
  • ᾰ̓λεκτρῠών (alektruṓn) is the Greek word meaning 'rooster, chicken'.
