Picture

The Nine Muses were Greek goddesses who ruled over the arts and sciences and offered inspiration in those subjects. They were the daughters of Zeus, lord of all gods, and Mnemosyne, who represented memory. Memory was important for the Muses because in ancient times, when there were no books, poets had to carry their work in their memories. Zeus and Mnemosyne had a love affair that lasted nine nights.The Muses were the goddesses who inspired gifted artists, musicians, dancers and authors.
They were followers of god Apollo (god of music and prophecy), but also good friends of the goddess Athena (Greek myth)/ Minerva (Roman myth).
Plato built an altar for the Nine Muses in the library of his famous school, The Academy.
“Muse” is the source for words like museum, amuse, music and mosaic.
The word “museum” means shrine or temple to the Muses.
