Les neuf Muses et les arts
Chaque Muse représente et protège une forme d'art. Hésiode raconte qu'un jour, les Muses l'approchèrent sur le mont Hélicon et lui offrirent le don de la poésie.
Les Muses sont les suivantes :
Clio : la muse de l'histoire
Euterpe : la muse de la musique, joueuse de flûte
Thalia : la comédie
Melpomène : la tragédie
Terpsichore : la poésie lyrique et la danse
Erato : le chant nuptial
Polymnie : la pantomime et la rhétorique
Uranie : l'astronomie et l'astrologie
Calliope : la poésie épique
