Help and Enrichment  Sound of castanets:  https://audiojungle.net/tags/castanets  (scroll down to castanets Rh..)  https://freesound.org/people/Satoration/sounds/57299/https://freesound.org/ people/Satoration/sounds/57299/ The Stymphalian birds were a group of monstrous birds in Greek mythology.  They devoured humans, and had beaks made of bronze.  Their feathers were sharp and metallic and could be thrown against their prey,  while their dung was poisonous. They were created by the god of war, Ares,  and were hunted down by wolves; to escape,  the birds reached the lake Stymphalia in the Greek region of Arcadia,  where they reproduced quickly and destroyed farmlands and the countryside. Athena helped Hercules kill the Stymphalian Birds by giving him castanets, a noise-maker.
