Helike (English pronunciation: /ˈhɛlɨkiː/; Greek: Ἑλίκη, pronounced [heˈlikɛː], modern Greek pronunciation: [eˈlici]) was an ancient Greek city that disappeared at night in the winter of 373 BC. It was located in Achaea, northern Peloponnesos, two kilometres (12 stadia) from the Corinthian Gulf and near the city of Boura, like it a member of the Achaean League. The city was thought to be legend until 2001, when it was rediscovered in the Helike delta. Modern research attributes the catastrophe to an earthquake and accompanying tsunami which destroyed and submerged the city.
The submerged town was long one of the biggest targets for underwater archaeology. Scientists were divided in their opinions about the exact location of Helike. Numerous archaeologists, historians, professors and explorers wrote, studied and actively searched, trying to discover any trace of the ancient town with little success. But their work, essays, observations and studies contributed to an important and growing body of knowledge. Among them are the following:
Robert Francis "Bobcat" Goldthwait (born May 26, 1962) is an American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film and television director. He is commonly known for his energetic stage personality, his dark, acerbic black comedy, and his gruff but high-pitched voice.
Goldthwait was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of Kathleen, a department store employee, and Tom Goldthwait, a sheet metal worker. He was raised in a Catholic working class family. Goldthwait decided on a career as a comedian at an early age and was performing professionally while still in high school at the age of 15. He attended St. Matthew's grammar school in East Syracuse, New York, where he met fellow comedian and voice-over actor Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants) in first grade. He and Tom graduated together from Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School in East Syracuse, New York, in 1980. They formed a comedy troupe with East Syracuse native Tom Nettle, called The Generic Comics. (Although nicknamed Bobcat and Tomcat, they did not appear as a comedy team together.) Early in his career, Goldthwait also co-wrote with Boston comedy writer Martin Olson, who is listed as writer on his first two comedy specials, Share the Warmth and Don't Watch This Show.
Stephen James Merchant (born 24 November 1974) is an English writer, director, radio presenter, comedian, and actor. He is best known for his collaborations with Ricky Gervais, as the co-writer and co-director of the popular British sitcom The Office, as the co-writer, co-director and a co-star of Extras, and as the co-host of The Ricky Gervais Show in its radio, podcast, audiobook and television-show forms. The Ricky Gervais Show in radio form has won a bronze Sony Award.
Merchant appeared in the BBC TV series Life's Too Short in which he co-wrote and co-directs. He also voiced the character Wheatley in the popular 2011 video game Portal 2, co-developed Sky TV travel series An Idiot Abroad, and performs as a stand-up comedian. He has won three BAFTA Awards, four British Comedy Awards, and an Emmy.
Merchant was born in Bristol, England, the son of Jane Elaine (née Hibbs), a nursery nurse, and Ronald John Merchant, an insurance representative. He attended Hanham High School. As he has described in Xfm London shows and podcasts, Merchant was a very shy child, tending to focus more on school work as opposed to sport. His school yearbook predicted that he would enjoy success.
Audra Ann McDonald (born July 3, 1970) is an American actress and singer. She starred in the ABC television drama Private Practice as Dr. Naomi Bennett. She has appeared on the stage in both musicals and dramas, such as Ragtime and A Raisin in the Sun.

She has won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress four times, twice each for plays and musicals.
Born in Berlin, Germany and raised in Fresno, California, the elder of two daughters, she began to study acting at a young age to counteract her diagnosis as "hyperactive". McDonald graduated from the Roosevelt School of the Arts program within Theodore Roosevelt High School in Fresno. She got her start in acting with Dan Pessano and Good Company Players, beginning in their Junior Company. "I knew I wanted to be involved in theater when I had my first chance to perform with the Good Company Players Junior Company." "The people who have had the most impact on my life: Good Company director Dan Pessano and my mother." She studied classical voice as an undergraduate under Ellen Faull at the Juilliard School, graduating in 1993.

Here we go another fight just like the ones before this time I really got you stuck under my skin and I can't take it anymore I'm breaking out
Put down the cigarette pick up the telephone cause I've been trying to call I know you're not alone you said you're with your friends I'm parked in front of your house and you're with another guy
Here we go another fight just like the ones before this time I really got you stuck under my skin and I can't take it anymore I'm breaking out Can't stop me now I'm breaking out Can't stop me now
Gasoline is in the air take the match, strike anywhere I'm so high above the ground light me up, can't stop me now
Mamma doesn't let me keep a gun under my bed She's afraid I'll use it on the voices in my head She's gonna treat me like a man when I am
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign Mess with your mind so you could feel my pain maybe then you'd never break my heart again
And when I'm hangin' with the angels in the sky You're in the gutter with the devil getting high You're gonna burn baby burn when I am
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign Mess with your mind so you could feel my pain maybe then you'd never break my heart again
I know that everybody wants to be invincible well maybe if we didn't have to try so hard we could start over again Now you've got to run away You'd better run every time that you see my face cause I'm the joker lookin' for my sweet revenge and yuo're so easy to blame when they make me
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign
I should have know it was over It's just another re-run That always ends with her driving into the sun There goes another one
There goes another one Another last chance that I'm never gonna get back
There goes another one I said that I was sorry, sorry don't mean jack I've changed my ways a little too late There goes another one
I've had my share of misfortune I've had my fun When the oasis has faded I'll come undone There goes another one
There goes another one Another last chance that I'm never gonna get back There goes another one I said that I was sorry, sorry don't mean jack I've changed my ways a little too late There goes another one
And it's all my fault I'm the one to blame And if I had it my way I'd do it all again
Pills don't seem to kill the pain I'm just a voice without a name were so far gone now, so far gone
I don't need to hear you speak your empty words don't mean a thing I can't hate you if I can't love you Today is just another day today is just another disappointment shut my mouth and close my eyes I don't need a reason why today is just another day of tragedy
In life, in death, in hate I find there's nothing left to leave behind I can't hate you if I can't love you today is just another day today is just another disappointment shut my mouth and close my eyes I don't need a reason why today is just another day
When did my heart stop beating? Why do I wake up screaming? When I've got nothing left to lose
Have all the rules been broken? Have all the words been spoken? Or are we giving up to soon? We're so far gone now, so far gone pills don't seem to kill the pain I'm just a voice without a name
Up in my room alone I get to thinkin' My head is always gettin' in the way if every day's the same Where are you future? My days are open, come on out to play c'mon
I'm walkin' to nowhere Lookin' at the stars above my head I want to be somewhere Somewhere I belong before I'm dead and I'm not there yet Under the city lights a fire's burnin' It's up to me to make it out alive Don't need no fairy tails No happy endings Forever after is a waste of time c'mon
I'm walkin' to nowhere Lookin' at the stars above my head I want to be somewhere Somewhere I belong before I'm dead and I'm not there yet
Pack up my suitcase Crawl out the window I've got get away From everything that I known and I'm spinning around my head But I'm still not there just yet
There's a girl I never knew On Olive avenue Who sells herself away I saw her walking by with the black around here eye and the tears still on her face What a shame
One day you'll see What goes around comes around One day you'll say Nohing's gonna hold you down
And the kid who lost it all is waiting for the call to take the pain away But the point he never missed is pressed against his wrist and who are we to blame What a shame
One day you'll see What goes around comes around One day you'll say Nohing's gonna hold you down
Life is just as simple as it's supposed to be Make me closer to you bring me closer to me
Make me closer to you bring me closer to me I lost myself today before the snow could melt away there's got to be a better place somewhere away from here
Don't call me in today, to work my life away Already given in my mental resignation Don't wanna hear about, how bad your stressing out And how I should be more like Carl in accounting
Your lips are moving but I don't know what your saying I'm thinkin' dirty thoughts a million miles away I really wish that we could have this conversation But you've got nothing to say
I've got the time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head again It's one step closer to the very end, for you
When I come home to you, all that I wanna do Is turn the T.V on and stare up at the ceiling Don't wanna talk about, what you can't live without And how the world should be revolving around you
Your lips are moving but I don't know what your saying I'm thinkin' dirty thoughts a million miles away I really wish that we could have this conversation But you've got nothing to say
I've got the time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head again It's one step closer to the very end, for you
Hey yea everybody run for cover I'm sinking everybody's going under
Time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head
Hey little creature Pleasure to meet ya I bet you never met a freak like me Ya I'm the outcast The on you walk past Could I be just another casualty How can I be someone someday?
Look at all the beautiful people Being all that I'll never be I've taken all I can take but the world is no place for somebody like me
Hey Cinderella Where are your fellas? They onlycome when it is up for free and when they get some Do you feel so dumb? Now that you're just another freak like me How can I be someone someday?
Look at all the beautiful people Being all that I'll never be I've taken all I can take but the world is no place for somebody like me
I'm gonna wait for the light I'll let it shine, shine in my eyes Cause it's me, myself and no one Take me away
Look at all the beautiful people Being all that I'll never be I've taken all I can take but the world is no place for somebody like me It's no place for somebody like...
You are the one that I want No other fish in the sea But when I shut my eyes I realize you've got your hook in me and now you're killing me slow cause every time I try to say goodbye you sink me like a stone
Somewhere far beyond the rainbow you're the fallen angel calling me close I tried walkin' on the water drowned before I got there, never to hold ya still I feel your heartbeat taking me over your love is taking me over
I like th way that it sounds when you've got nothing to say and when the words are wrong I sing along when the music plays I've got my back to your blade so do what you've got to do it's just the price to pay for a guy like me to love a girl like you
Somewhere far beyond the rainbow you're the fallen angel calling me close I tried walking on the water drowned before I got there, never to hold ya still I feel your heartbeat taking me
Oooh why don't you say it? Why don't you say sorry to me? Oooh why don't you say it? Why don't you say sorry to me?
Sorry sorry so...
