The Nine Muses


The Nine Muses were immortals of Greek mythology. They were the children of Zeus and the Goddess of Memory and each had their specialties. Calliope was the Muse of Epics, Polyhymnia the Muse of Hymns, Clio the Muse of History, Urania the Muse of Astronomy, Terpsichore the Muse of Dance, Melpomene the Muse of Tragedy, Thalia the Muse of Comedy, Euterpe the Muse of Music, and Erato the Muse of Lyrics.
My blog was previously named "Clio", but due to the fact I found this topic (history and archaeology) slightly restricting, I have changed the name of my blog to the Nine Muses. This will allow me to delve into my other interests instead of focusing on the past. Hopefully this will allow me to post more posts!
