Dancing for the sun
I'm mixing mythologies here a bit but in Japanese mythology it seems the sun goddess got in a bit of a snit and hid in a cave leaving the whole world dark. Well the others in the Japanese pantheon decided to throw a party in front of her cave, with the best singers and dancers to entice her out. So she came back out. Here's where I mix my mythologies though, I decided they needed a satyr playing the pipes and doubling as a football linebacker, to block the cave and keep her out once she was out!
