- From Hesiod to Boethius to Milton, the nine muses are some of the best known and most inspiring (!) of all the figures in Greek mythology. They dance under the leadership of Apollo on the heights of Pieria, inspire poets and recall the deeds of gods and men for posterity. Kleio, Euterpe, Thaleia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania, Kalliope have been some of the most engaging and remarkable figures in the western tradition.

This is too good
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'd love to know more about Greek theatre, maybe you could do a video covering more of the topic in future?
Great idea, its in the works.
@@Keimelia That's fantastic! I'm really enjoying your videos, by the way, and I look forward to seeing more of them, thank you 😊
Glad to find you! so good to have another real scholar here, and this answered a weak spot in my knowledge. subbed and thumbed ! thanks
Your illustrations deserve acknowledgement. I for one would like to know their sources. Thanks for your videos.
Are you literally talking about illustrations or images generally? The illustrations are all from Adobe stock. Many of the images are from the Met or the Prado or museums with a free use policy if not they are from wikipedia.
@@Keimelia I was wondering in particular about the stylised line drawings. I do not doubt that you observe copyright. I think you use stock images better than many others. I sometimes wish that classical scholars and educators on CZcams would take the relation between visual arts and the history of ideas (abut the past) a bit more seriously.
What sort of change would you like to see?
@@Keimelia You are doing well. You give an introduction based on true expert knowledge through original sources and You sometimes go into context and theory. That is a great contribution. Although stock images used for a bit of interest are fine, they can be d I stractingly diverse. Imagery that is contemporary with the ancient ideas and events that you explain can actually be a part of the exposition. Imagery from after the middle age is illustrative of something different, namely the latter-day interpretation and ideological deployment of notions of the classical world. If images are made ashed together these subtleties are lost.
@@allangardiner2515 Got it, thanks for the perspective, it is appreciated.
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.
It's a good question and I think you hit on part of the answer. Performance, poetry and song/dance was far more important to their society than ours for a variety of reasons and the difference is difficult to grasp sometimes. The arts and crafts while important were definitely secondary.
I love Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania better more than the nymphs.
Good choice!
@@Keimelia Also, I love Nemesis, Nike, Eunomia, Eirene, and Phaenna better more than the nymphs.
Easier to remember their names in alphabetical order 😊
@@user-nm4ip2td8u 👍🥰
Speak of Nyx. You've danced around her.
