\nCreativity is all about finding inspiration. Where does it come from?
\nThe Greeks cherished the concept of a Muse – a divine visitation. Homer spoke of them as both one Muse and as many Muses. Hesiod identified 9 daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Who were these 9 godesses?
\nCalliope – epic song
\nClio – history
\nEuterpe – lyric song
\nMelpomene – tragedy
\nTerpsichore – dance
\nErato – erotic poetry
\nPolyhymnia – sacred song
\nUrania – astronomy
\nThalia – comedy and bucolic poetry
\nThese are big Muses. There may well be many smaller ones that are at times equally or more important. Most mornings I have an encounter with the Muse of coffee. Most photographers are frequently visited by the Muse of light. And there are so many others! Take a little time to get to know them better. Be ready for their next appearance.
\nIt’s important to know what inspires you.
\nWho are your Muses?
