The Muses: Epic Odes - Paperback

by Jg Federman (Author)

THE MUSES is a collection of odes which honor the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne: Clio (history), Urania (astronomy), Melpomene (tragedy), Thalia (comedy), Terpsichore (dance), Calliope (epic poetry), Erato (love poetry), Polyhymnia (songs to the gods), and Euterpe (lyric poetry). This tribute to these mythical beauties honors their personification of the arts and sciences. Throughout history, they have inspired many creative minds and remain influential to this day. In this book, the mythology of these figures is intertwined with poetic lyrics to entreat the senses and delight the mind.
