AMPHION Twin brother to Zethos, Amphion was blessed with a deep, romantic character, which he used to full effect in playing the lyre that Hermes had given him. Unlike his brother, Amphion disdained the rougher life of the hunter and warrior, preferring instead to accomplish by music what ever Zethos did by force. Like Orpheus, his music had great power, and during the building of the walls of Thebes, Amphion's music easily moved rocks that his brother would strain trying to budge by physical means.
