The Muses - Inspiration Incarnate

The Muses are the personification of artistic inspiration. They are a group of nine women who are often invoked by artists to inspire their literature, science or art.   Each of the nine Muses are assigned an artistic sphere:
  • Calliope: Epic Poetry
  • Clio: History
  • Erato: Erotic Poetry
  • Euterpe: Music
  • Melpomene: Tragedy
  • Polyhymnia: Hymn
  • Terpsichore: Dance
  • Thalia: Comedy
  • Urania: Astronomy
  The Muses are patrons of many artists, responding to their pleas and visiting them in dreams to grant them the inspiration they desire. Many artists develop a one sided relationship with one of the Muses, which never ends well.   The Muses were once mortals, chosen by Apollo from the most skilled artisans of the Silver Age to to assist future mortals in the creation of their art. Because of this the Muses are commonly associated with Apollo and are often found as part of his retinue or worshipped alongside him.

Apperance:

  The Muses are exclusively depicted as feminine, commonly as a collection of nine women, each specialising in an artistic pursuit.   The Muses are known to take numerous forms, unique for each individual that would call for their guidance.
