from wordsmith.org's daily email:

halcyon (HAL-see-uhn) adjective

1. Peaceful; tranquil.

2. Carefree; joyful.

3. Golden; prosperous.

noun

Any of various kingfishers of the genus Halcyon.

[From Greek halkyon (kingfisher) via Latin and Middle English. Halcyon
was a mythical bird, identified with the kingfisher, that was said to breed around the winter solstice. It nested at sea and had the power to charm the wind and waves so that they became calm.]

In Greek mythology, Alcyone was the daughter of Aeolus and wife of Ceyx. When Ceyx drowned in a shipwreck, she threw herself into the sea. Out of compassion, the gods transformed them into a pair of kingfishers. To protect their nest, the winds were forbidden to blow for a week before and after the winter solstice.

tASSy · 04-04-2005, 02:51 PM

hopefully people will see the pronunciation and spelling and all the confusion will be cleared up. when this came in my email this morning it just reminded me of all the "flow" we've been experiencing lately.
