There are nine muses from Classical Greece. Each Muse represented a different art, which most of their names can also be "associated" with:
Calliope .... epic poetry/song (CIPE=epic rev.)
Clio ..... history (C.=circa/century)
Euterpe ..... lyric poetry/song
Thalmia ..... comedy
Melpomene ..... tragedy
Terpsichore ..... choral dancing
Erato ..... erotic (ie.love) poetry/song
Polyhymnia ..... sacred poetry/song
Urania ..... astronomy
Hope this helps!!!!

In Greek mythology, the Muses were the goddesses of music, song and dance, and the source of inspiration to poets. They were also goddesses of knowledge, who remembered all things that had come to pass. The nine muses are:
Calliope (the "beautiful of speech", chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry)
Clio (the "glorious one", muse of history)
Erato (the "amorous one", muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs)
Euterpe (the "well-pleasing", muse of music and lyric poetry)
Melpomene (the "chanting one", muse of tragedy)
Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the "[singer] of many hymns", muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric)
Terpsichore (the "[one who] delights in dance", muse of choral song and dance)
Thalia (the "blossoming one", muse of comedy and bucolic poetry)
Urania (the "celestial one", muse of astronomy)
