Mythology...
A Lyre is an ancient musical instrument. In Greek mythology, Hermes invented the lyre. Hermes then had given the lyre to his Apollo, his half brother, and apollo gave it to Orpheus who was taught to play it by the Muses. When his wife died, he played the instrument for Hades who then gave him back his wife. He didn't realize she was still dead until it was too late. He then threw the lyre into the river and it floated to Lesbos, near the temple of Apollo. And Apollo himself then convinced Zues to make it a constellation.
