The muses





ff

If I didn't get my notes all mixed up these are representation of Clio, muse of history, Urania , muse of astronomy, and Thalia, muse of comedy

Other muses are:

- Melpomene....muse of tragedy
- Polyhymnia....muse of mime and song
- Erato...............muse of hymns and love songs
- Calliope...........muse of heroic song and elegy
and Terpsichore, muse of dance


2nd century AD, Pio-Clementine Museum, Vatican Museums

...If I ever learn how to paint properly I'll definitely redefine the muse question and find myself a male muse for inspiration...
