A scholarly and educational presentation, thank you. How the Muses inspire my imagination as I picture them dancing around the spring, on mount Helicon, as the winged horse, Pegasus, watches on.

I love Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania better more than the nymphs.

6 24 what are the ideas on why they don't encompass the realm of arts and crafts? I've been pondering this. Was art considered so mundane and utilitarian in antiquity?
I'm drawn to put painting and the movement of brushstrokes with Terpsichore.
