Aonia may have been a district of ancient Boeotia, a region of Greece containing the mountains Helicon and Cithaeron, and thus sacred to the Muses, whom Ovid calls the Aonides.
These influences are detailed by Martin Litchfield West in The East Face of Helicon: West Asiatic Elements in Greek Poetry and Myth.
He was born on the planet Helicon in the Arcturus sector where his father worked as a tobacco grower in a hydroponics plant.

He also learns martial arts on Helicon that later help him on Trantor, the principal art being Heliconian Twisting (a form seemingly equal parts Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Submission Wrestling).
Helicon Home Colony was an experimental community formed by author Upton Sinclair in Englewood, New Jersey, United States, with proceeds from his novel The Jungle.
It sits on the foot of the Elikonas Mountains at the elevation of 440 m and is 21 km southeast of Livadeia and 130 km northwest of Athens.
The company now (2007) has 130 employees and is owned by TC Group which also holds Tannoy, TC Electronic, TC-Helicon, and TC Applied Technologies.
Helicon was the inspiration for the balls held by the Hungarian composer Leó Festetics at his castle near Keszthely.
Bob Sullivan (screenplay writer), edited HELICON, the literary magazine Exponent insert, during the Smoot years; and wrote the screenplay for Parts: The Clonus Horror, remade as the DreamWorks movie The Island (2005 film), directed by Michael Bay.
