On the first day of Oral Traditions, taught by Dr. Michael Sexson, we discussed the nine Muses and who they were. The list looks something like this:
Mother of the Muses: Mnemosyne
Calliope: Epic poetry
Clio: History
Urania: Astronomy
Terpsichore: Dance
Euterpe: Lyrical Poetry
Polyhymnia: Hymns
Thalia: Comedy
Melpomene: Tragic Poetry
Erato: Love Poetry
There is a handy tool to use for remembering theses nine: CCUTETEMP. It REALLY WORKS!!
