Boy on a Dolphin at the Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
On the coinage of the ancient city of Taras, the son of Poisedon is depicted on a dolphin, sometimes with his father's trident in one hand; the same image is depicted on the modern city emblem.
The boy's father, Poseidon, god of the sea, realized his son was in danger and sent a dolphin to rescue him.
Riding on the dolphin's back, he was taken to a protective harbor that was named Taras in his honor.
