Akrotiri - Atlantis x Clavadista (Acapulco)

Most people have probably heard of the theory that the island of Thera/Santorini is Atlantis. The excavation of the Minoan site of Akrotiri has helped to fuel the connection.

And, although slightly unrelated- Clavadista was named after the cliff divers of Acapulco which in conjunction with the frescoes of Akrotiri made me think of the fresco from the Tomb of the Diver at the Greek city of Paestum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Diver

Jar of Hearts Oversized Heart-What We Never Had (The Star Man)

Named for the song by Christina Perri, if you listen to the lyrics, it fits well with the sire and dam's names.
