I knew I was right <g> I'm now teasing him that he forgets all his Spanish roots and inventing things, that never were in the language from the first place.

>>Yestersday we were talking with my colleague about Greek mythology. He is from Peru originally and he kept insisting on Orpheus being the god of sleep, saying that they have a Spanish expression "Orpheus arms". Well, I know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice and told him it, but hadn't convniced him. Anyway, the expression I know in Russian is "Mortheus arms", e.g Mortheus is the god (?), who appeared in man's like in people's dreams. However, I can not find anything confirming my truth in Google, I believe, because of the wrong spelling. Could you please help me out with the English spelling and perhaps give some supporting links? Because I know I'm right and even checked today in the morning in the Greek Mythology book I have in Russian.
