- The nine muses of Greek mythology are the goddesses of song, dance, music, and poetry and were among the most important deities of the ancient Greek pantheon as the source of inspiration for poets. The most common and widespread belief was that the nine muses were the daughters of the Olympian god Zeus and the titan goddess of memory, Mnemosyne (which makes sense as the muses were also regarded as goddesses of knowledge who retained the knowledge of all that had come to pass).
The nine muses are Kalliope, the chief muse and responsible for epic poetry and rhetoric (and also known as the mother of gifted lyre player Orpheus), Kleio the goddess of history, Erato the goddess of erotic poetry and singing, Ourania the goddess of astronomy, Thaleia the goddess of comedy, Melpomene the goddess of tragedy, Euterpe the goddess of lyric poetry, Polymnia the goddess of religious hymns to the gods, and Terpsichore the goddess of dance.

What are the figures from your culture comparable to the Nine Muses?
Here in Mexico, we have the Mexica and the Mayan Gods! Is very difficult to find the Mesoamerican counterpart of the Greco-Roman Muses!
here in India, we have innumerable gods related to arts and music named as "Gandharvas "
please bring a video on Norse mythology .
Kleio is my fave. I have a degree in History. I have the Michelangelo Delphic Sybil from the Sistine Chapel for thoughts and inspiration.
I recently discovered the "Show transcript" feature; it's on the drop-down three-dot button menu. This is great because closed captions (I'm hard of hearing) sometimes obscure on-screen information. Now, I know this feature is not unique to your videos. However, I did notice that your transcripts are not marked as "auto-generated." If that means you have taken the time and effort to make sure that the transcription is verbatim (sometimes, auto-generated quality leaves something to be desired), then I thank you even more for these fabulous videos.
Hi Kelly I love you and your channel. Could you cover the myths and beliefs of Sumerian religion. 🥰
Thanks, Adam. Stay tuned because we're always adding new videos. 🙂
I wish they would teach this us in elementary skol, like this stuff is so interesting. To even think that people took these as sacred and now we can talk aboit it from secular perspective is just amazing
You are absolutely stunning. Your content is incredibly useful and highly educational yet fun. Love this channel! Keep up the absolutely fantastic work!
👍👍
Thank you so much, Travis. 🙂
Thank you, Kelly. The Muses tickle my sense of inspiration like on one else. They manifest as whispers in the ears of all those who evoke them.
You're very welcome, Paul! We're glad that you enjoyed the video. 🙂

Well I just learned today, The Muse Melpomene is painted in The Library of Congress in DC!
Accurate and eerie. She is the muse of Tragedy.
And if it isn’t already clear that politics are nothing more than Theater. The most high stakes theater, equaling tragedy .
It blew my mind!
Interesting indeed. Thanks for watching!
Thanks dear
You're very welcome. 🙂
All the 9 greek Muses are also sisters
Correct. Thanks for watching!

Maybe the three and then nine muses are two distinct groups: one group of three and some other group of nine; expressions of yet other gods.
Interesting thought. Thanks for watching!
Ma'am how do you know everything ???
We do a lot of research. 😉
here in India, we have innumerable gods related to arts and music named as "Gandharvas "
We have an article on them: worldhistory.org/Apsaras_and_Gandharvas/ 🙂
This means that Disney lied to us again! Good that we have the God of War games and the Percy Jackson books!
👍🙂
