As we know, in Greek mythology, the Muses are goddesses of inspiration, creativity, and the arts, specifically literature, science, and music. Wether a man or a woman ( we are all inclusive here), which muse would you say represents you most closely. You can tell us why too, if you like.
• Calliope: Muse of epic poetry and eloquence.
(beatiful voice, voice of angel)
• Clio: Muse of history.
(glorious or to make famous)
• Erato: Muse of love poetry
and lyre.
(lovely or desirable)
• Euterpe: Muse of music and song.
(giver of many delights)
• Melpomene: Muse of tragedy. (celebrate with song and dance)
• Polyhymnia: Muse of hymns, sacred poetry, and gesture.
(many praises or much laudation)
• Thalia: Muse of comedy
(joyous or "flourishing)
• Terpsichore: Muse of dance.
(delight in dancing)
• Urania: Muse of astronomy.

In my youth, when I first learned of the Nine Muses, I always identified with Calliope...I was forever writing poems. But now, I would say Clio...simply because my long-standing love of ancient Greek (& Roman) history led me to move to Greece. Eventually I put that love into a BA degree, with my dissertation focusing on how mythology influenced & inspired Renaissance artist Alessandro Botticelli ❤️ Haha, sorry for going all geeky on a Monday morning 😂 |
