Reply to comment by HardPawns in TIL that the Persian King Xerxes was so enraged after a storm destroyed his bridges that he ordered the sea be given 300 whiplashes, and branded it with red-hot irons as the soldiers shouted at the water by LethalPoopstain
Ever read The Persians by Aeschylus?

Strum by Jessie Montgomery
Recent piece of contemporary classical, though I don’t think any official recordings have been published. Not too long ago a group called Alexander String Quartet came to my college to perform, and this was one of the songs they played. They also performed in the chapel on campus which really made it beautiful, the acoustics in there were perfect for this kind of music. This video is pretty good but it doesn’t do it full justice
