Muse | Domain | Emblem |
---|---|---|
Calliope | Epic poetry | Writing tablet |
Clio | History | Scrolls |
Euterpe | Song and Elegiac poetry | Aulos (an ancient Greek musical instrument like a flute) |
Erato | Lyric Poetry | Cithara (an ancient Greek musical instrument in the lyre family) |
Melpomene | Tragedy | Tragic mask |
Polyhymnia | Hymns | Veil |
Terpsichore | Dance | Lyre |
Thalia | Comedy | Comic mask |
Urania | Astronomy | Globe and compass |
But we are not one, but instead we are all the muses, at most at one time or another we carry the emblem of one or the other in the front, the others held behind the emblem of Polyhymnia ready to come forth when the situation calls for it.
