Picture "The Muses" from: brown.edu/~maicar/MUSES.htmlSince one of the few things I really know about the mythological ladies of art is their names ...
- Calliope: the muse of epic poetry
- Clio: the muse of history, education and knowledge
- Erato: the muse of sensual poetry
- Enterpe: the muse of lyric and music
- Melpomene: the muse of tragedies and elegies
- Polymnia: the muse of sacred song
- Terpsichore: the muse of music and dance
- Thalia: muse of comedy
- Urania: the muse of astronomy and astrology
I thought I should do at least a little research on them before we meet. I found photos and just the right amount of detail about each of them in a High School Student Essay written by: Heather Clegg-Haman found here--> The 9 Greek Muses

It's too bad we weren't communicating sooner. I posted a contest about the muses in September and nobody solved it.

I have that same book Coy, but I haven't started it yet because I'm still up to my nose in mystical German philosophy. DB -Vagabon
