Sterling Silver Dolphin EarringsDolphins have inspired wonder among humankind for centuries and were even integrated into ancient religions. Dolphins were intertwined with the lives of Apollo, Demeter, and Aphrodite in Greek mythology. The earliest known portrayal of dolphins in art is in a collection of ancient images carved into rocks in northern Norway. One of these is estimated to be around 8,000 years old. A beautiful example of dolphin art is the Dolphin fresco on the wall of the Queen's room in the Minoan palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, which is estimated to be around 3,500 years old. Today, dolphins inspire great admiration and devotion - they symbolize joy and freedom. They are viewed as the connection between the world of men and the underwater world of the sea. The dolphin is also an emblem of safe travel and has often been called "The Sailor's Friend."
