A fact from Crotalum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 May 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in Greek mythology, Heracles chased off the man-eating birds of Lake Stymphalia by playing castanet-like clappers called "crotala"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/May.

Wikipedia

It is requested that one or more audio files of a musical instrument or component be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and included in this article to improve its quality by demonstrating the way it sounds or alters sound. Please see Wikipedia:Requested recordings for more on this request.

Comments

In the phrase "it appears to have been a split reed" does "it" refer to sistrum? I think so but don't want to interfere incorrectly. Flamenco dancers use crótalos I believe. Wikipedia does reach for singular singulars sometimes, like Pant; the article title crotalum, instead of the more natural crotala, unavoidably reminds me of the sound of one hand clapping... --Wetman 04:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
