O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
A metallic compound that we would call yellow brass.
Orichalcum is a combination of eighty percent copper and twenty percent zinc (with small amounts of lead, tin and other metals); orichalcum was said to have been dug from the ground in a pure state on the island of Atlantis; the Romans used orichalcum for coins.
