The muses are the Greek goddesses who presided over the arts and sciences. They were believed to inspire all artists, especially poets, philosophers, and musicians. The Muses were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Mere mortals who are blessed by the Muses, can use the beauty of their song, or the grace of their dance to heal the sick and comfort the heartbroken. The Muses can bestow the gift of talent and insight but they can also, viciously, revoke their blessings. Euterpe, the muse of lyric song, is depicted with the double flute, Terpsichore, the muse of dance, is depicted with the lyre, and Erato, the m use of erotic poetry, is depicted with the maller lyre. Gallery quality reproduction made in Greece from terra-cotta, hand spun on the wheel, certified by the Greek Ministry, and measures 9.5"H x 5"D.
