Ron Baggerman: 12-string Chapman Stick
Gert van Middelkoop: Drums

The nine brightest stars of the Pleiades are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology: Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygeta, Celaeno, and Alcyone, along with their parents Atlas and Pleione. As daughters of Atlas, the Hyades were sisters of the Pleiades. The English name of the cluster itself is of Greek origin (Πλειάδες), though of uncertain etymology. Suggested derivations include: from πλεῖν plein, "to sail," making the Pleiades the "sailing ones"; from πλέος pleos, "full, many"; or from πελειάδες peleiades, "flock of doves."

Mythology:
Several of the most prominent male Olympian gods (including Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares) engaged in affairs with the seven heavenly sisters. These relationships resulted in the birth of their children.

-Maia, eldest of the seven Pleiades, was mother of Hermes by Zeus.
-Electra was mother of Dardanus and Iasion, by Zeus.
-Taygete was mother of Lacedaemon, also by Zeus.
-Alcyone was mother of Hyrieus, Hyperenor and Aethusa by Poseidon.
-Celaeno was mother of Lycus and Eurypylus by Poseidon.
-Sterope (also Asterope) was mother of Oenomaus by Ares.
-Merope, youngest of the seven Pleiades, was wooed by Orion. In other mythic contexts she married Sisyphus and, becoming mortal, faded away. She bore to Sisyphus several sons.
