The nine Muses are all sisters, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, or Memory. Each one of the Muses represents a different human art, and, according to Greek myth, they inspire artists to be able to create new music, paintings, or plays. Even historians have their own muse, Clio, who helps them tell stories. We get the English word "music" from the Muses.
This is a list of the nine Muses:
Calliope - Music
Clio - History
Erato - Love Poetry and Mime
Euterpe - Lyric Poetry
Melpomene - Tragedy
Polyhymnia - Religious Hymns
Terpsichore - Choirs and Dancing
Thalia - Comedy
Urania - Astronomy
