] Halcyon Castle (now called The Kovalam Palace) was built in 1932 in the princely state of Travancore, in the modern-day state of Kerala, India.

Halcyon (genus)
''Halcyon'' () is a genus of the tree kingfishers, near passerine birds in the subfamily Halcyoninae. Taxonomy The genus ''Halcyon'' was introduced by the English naturalist and artist William John Swainson in 1821. He named the type species as the woodland kingfisher (''Halcyon senegalensis''). "Halcyon" is a name for a bird in Greek legend generally associated with the kingfisher. There was an ancient belief that the bird nested on the sea, which it calmed in order to lay its eggs on a floating nest. Two weeks of calm weather were therefore expected around the winter solstice. This myth leads to the use of halcyon as a term for peace or calmness. The genus contains 12 species: * However, other sources, including Fry & Fry, lump the genera ''Pelargopsis'', '' Syma'' and '' Todirhamphus'' into ''Halcyon'' to make a much larger grouping. Geographic distribution The genus ''Halcyon'' in the current sense consists mainly of species resident in sub-Saharan Africa, with a couple ...

Halcyon (dialogue)
''Halcyon'' ( grc-gre, Ἀλκυών) is a short dialogue attributed in the manuscripts to both Plato and Lucian, but the work is not by either writer. Favorinus, writing in the early second century, attributes it to a certain Leon, as did Nicias of Nicaea. Content In the dialogue, Socrates relates to Chaerephon the ancient myth of Halcyon, a woman who was transformed by the gods into a bird to be able to search the seas for her husband Ceyx, who was lost at sea. Skeptical of the account, Chaerephon questions the possibility that humans can be transformed into birds. In response, Socrates cautions that there are many amazing things unknown or at least not fully understood by humans, and advocates epistemological humility for mortals in light of the gods' abilities or, more generally, in light of what humans do not know. For comparison, Socrates refers to a bad storm that recently took place and was immediately followed by a sudden calm. Such a sudden transformation is all at o ...

Elinor Glyn
Elinor Glyn ( Sutherland; 17 October 1864 – 23 September 1943) was a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialised in romantic fiction, which was considered scandalous for its time, although her works are relatively tame by modern standards. She popularized the concept of the ''it-girl'', and had tremendous influence on early 20th-century popular culture and, possibly, on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and, especially, Clara Bow. Early life and family background Elinor Sutherland was born on 17 October 1864 in Saint Helier, Jersey, in the Channel Islands. She was the younger daughter of Douglas Sutherland (1838–1865), a civil engineer of Scottish descent, and his wife Elinor Saunders (1841–1937), of an Anglo-French family that had settled in Canada. Her father was said to be related to the Lords Duffus. Anthony Glyn was her grandson. Her father died when she was two months old; her mother returned to the parental ho ...

Halcyon (Stargate Atlantis Novel)
''Stargate'' literature comprises the novels and short stories in the ''Stargate'' franchise fictional universe (based on either the original '' Stargate'' film or the ''Stargate SG-1'', ''Stargate Atlantis'' and ''Stargate Universe'' television shows) as well as non-fiction devoted to the franchise. ''Stargate'' literary works follow no strict continuity with the series or each other, and are often considered to be non-canon. This is evident in the fact that there is a period of roughly a year between the original idea for a novel and the finalized product, causing problems for authors as they are unaware as to how the franchise will develop and change during the writing process. Despite this, the editors of ''Stargate'' literature function as the medium between the author and the production company. There are three series of novels based on the ''Stargate'' franchise and short fiction has also been published in the official ''Stargate Magazine''. It becomes difficult to disce ...

Halcyon (book)
''Halcyon'' ( it, Alcyone ) is the title of a collection of 88 poems by Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, written between 1899 and 1903, and published in 1903. It was intended as the third volume of a seven-book work called ("''Odes to the sky, to the sea, to the earth and to the heroes''") which was subsequently interrupted in 1912 with only four volumes published: ''Maia'', ''Elettra'', ''Halcyon'', and ''Merope''. Origin On July 7, 1899, D'Annunzio wrote to his editor Treves about a long and complex lyrical work he was developing. The seven books of the ''Laudi'' were named after the stars in the Pleiades cluster. Of these, the first three were published in 1903, while ''Merope'' was published in 1912. D'Annunzio began to write poetry again after an extended hiatus (his last lyrical work, ''Poema paradisiaco'' was dated 1893), during which he was leading an eventful life between journeys, political experiences and the newly established sentimental bond with actress Eleonora ...
