Arethusa was a nymph who swore allegiance to the goddess Artemis. While swimming, she was noticed by the river god Alpheus who fell in love with her. Arethusa fled from Alpheus and prayed to Artemis for help. Artemis turned Arethusa into a spring and transported her to the island of Ortygia in Syracuse, Sicily. Alpheus also turned himself into a river and dug an underground channel from Greece to Sicily so that his waters could mix with those of the Arethusa spring, reuniting him with his lover.

Hercules in the iberian peninsula
Hercules stole giant Gerion's cattle herd on the Iberian Peninsula as the tenth of his twelve labors. Gerion lived on an island near modern-day Cadiz and had three bodies. When Hercules stole the cattle, Gerion pursued him but was killed by an arrow poisoned with Hydra blood. Later, it was believed Gerion's head was buried where the Lighthouse of Hercules in La Coruña now stands. The columns Hercules erected to mark the divide between Europe and Africa became a symbol used in coats of arms, including those of Spain and the region of Andalusia.
First year project activities ( italy)
Students from schools in Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, and Italy participated in a project about sea and music called "Sea and Music in Intercultural Lifelong Education". As part of the project, students created videos introducing themselves and their schools. They made posters for a 2019 calendar and PowerPoints on myths and legends of the sea. The first activity during a trip to Cyprus was creating a mural representing the project logo. Students also participated in workshops on civil rights and tales from the sea while interviewing classmates. During a trip to Spain, students prepared a performance about tales and music representing multiculturalism.
Arion and the dolphin
Arion, a famous poet and musician, wins a competition in Sicily and is provided passage on a ship back home along with gold. However, the sailors decide to rob and kill Arion by throwing him overboard. As Arion sings one last song in the sea, a dolphin saves him and brings him to shore in Corinth. When the sailors arrive and claim Arion is still in Sicily, the king realizes Arion told the truth and has the sailors executed.
Alcyone
Alcyone and her husband Kiika believed themselves to be the gods Zeus and Hera. When Zeus grew furious at their arrogance, he drowned Kiika and caused Alcyone to throw herself into the sea in grief. Seeing their love, Zeus took pity and transformed them into kingfisher birds so they could continue their lives together. He also created sunny winter days in January to help the kingfishers.

- 4. One day while running in the forest in Greece, Arethusa decided to take a refreshing swim in a stream. While in the water, she felt something move around her, it was the river god Alpheus who looked at her in love.
- 5. Arethusa was scared and ran away. Alpheus followed her and she running and escaping from him, began to get tired.
- 6. So Arethusa asked for help to Artemis who at first enveloped her in a cloud, hidden from Alpheus.
- 7. Then Artemis turned her into a source and took her in the island of Ortygia, of the Sicilian city of Syracuse.
- 9. Alpheus turned himself into a river and he dug an underground channel from Greece under the Ionian Sea to Sicily…
- 10. …and rejoined his lover mixing its waters with those of the Arethusa source.
- 13. In the center of the Arethusa source, the papyrus plant grows… In Sicily this source is also called «a funtana re papiri»
