Introducing myself to fellow early modernist and poetry types in here (and waving hi to some longtime friends: hi! hi!) by putting the word out that Amphion has now been published and is out and about in the world! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...
Amphion
A reintroduction to the myth of Amphion, recovering an overlooked sphere of lyric tradition. Amphion is the figure in Greek mythology who played so skillfully on a lyre that stones moved of their own ...

Amphion-kaiuttimet, valmistetaan Kuopiossa. Niitä ei tosin tule ihan päivittäin ostettua, mutta jos tarvetta on, suosittelen.

Let's backtrack for a moment, friends. Why did that British captain make that offer? It's because when the Royal Louis was captured by the British frigate Amphion, the British captain's son took a liking to Forten during marble games on deck. (cont)

On s'est tapé le délire de déguster un omble à Amphion. Quel plaisir !

Genelec- ja Amphion-kaiuttimien kanssa samaan kategoriaan. Kyllä tässä maassa muuten oikeasti ymmärretään mitä se kunnon laatu tarkoittaa 👌

Although unlike the Amphion retreads, at least there's some sort of longer history there for the name, even if it's not necessarily any more interesting.

Naval high command has released reinforcements for Battlegroup Lysander following the recent defeat - the battlecruisers Furious and Amphion, and the Black Templars vessel Vae Victis. Too late to turn the tide in the last battle, grumble the survivors... Models are all from Scourge Scenics.

A good list which highlights a persistent tendency. Other cases: Oxford (2 Jan 1669), Forester (18 Nov 1672), Aldborough (9 Feb 1696), Carlisle (19 Sept 1700), Edgar (15 Oct 1711), Amphion (22 Sept 1796), Coquille (14 Dec 1798).
The Royal Navy has a proud tradition of ships spontaneously exploding:

The London, 7/3/1665
HMS Ardent 4/1794
HMS Dotorel 26/4/1881
HMS Bulwark 26/11/1914
HMS Natal 30/12/1915
HMS Vanguard 9/7/1917
HMS Port Napier 27/11/1940

Honourable mention to HMS Thunderer which blew up twice and didn't sink

The Royal Navy has scored its first victory of the war: Mere hours after Britain entered the war, HMS Amphion intercepted and sank the SS Königin Luise; the latter had just finished a mine-laying patrol off the English coast. Amphion picked up 46 survivors out of a crew of 100.
