Once upon a time, Zeus spent nine consecutive nights with Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of memory, giving birth to the nine Muses: Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, Urania, Calliope, and Clio. These Muses inspired countless poets and artists, including Shakespeare and Milton, who invoked their divine influence in their works. The tradition of calling upon the Muses dates back to Homer's Iliad, where he likely invoked Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry. The Muses resided on Mount Olympus, delighting the gods with their songs and dances, often accompanied by Apollo's lyre. Their influence extended beyond art, touching on history, eloquence, and even foreseeing the future. Key quotes: "At the opening of his Henry V, Shakespeare refers to the 'Muse of fire,' and Milton beseeches the 'Heav'nly Muse' to sing at the beginning of his Paradise Lost. By invoking a muse at the opening of their works, Shakespeare and Milton carried on a centuries-old custom." "In the Iliad, Homer describes the Muses singing in response to each other's songs while Apollo plays his lyre, entertaining the gods during their feast." "In his Theogony, Hesiod describes a conversation with the Muses where they bestow upon him their divine voice, enabling him to exalt the gods and their progeny." "In his Metamorphoses, Antoninus Liberalis recounts the daughters of Pierus challenging the Muses in song, only to be transformed into birds as punishment for their audacity." "Valerius Flaccus acknowledges Clio's power in his Argonautica, writing, 'Clio, do you now reveal the reasons behind the heroes' horrific deeds? You, O Muse, have been granted the ability to see into the minds of the gods and understand the processes that lead to reality.'" Dive into the fascinating world of the Muses and discover the divine inspiration behind some of the greatest works of art and literature. Tune in now!

De klassiska muserna har fallit. Ner i det mänskliga. Ner mot gatan och köket. Rebecka Kärde reflekterar över ett skifte som berättar om konstens förändrade roll i kulturen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Minnet är konstens moder. I alla fall om man ska tro den grekiske poeten Hesiodos. Enligt honom resulterade en nio dagar lång förbindelse mellan Zeus och minnets gudinna Mnemosyne i att den senare födde lika många döttrar. De fick namnen Kleio, Euterpe, Erato, Polyhymnia, Melpomene, Ourania, Therpsichore, Thaleia och Kalliope. Tillsammans kallas de för muserna. Från dessa nio systrar flödar den poetiska inspirationen, och den som vill dansa, dikta, sjunga eller ägna sig åt någon av de andra musiska konstarterna måste göra det med deras välsignelse.Hur får man kontakt med muserna? I Hesiodos fall kommer uppvaktningen oväntat. En dag, då han som vanligt vallar sina får på berget Helikon, dyker systrarna plötsligt upp från ingenstans. De börjar förolämpa den blivande poeten. Du lantliga fä, ropar de, i Ingvar Björkesons översättning – du som ”bara tänker på buken!” Sedan säger de att mycket av det de berättar i själva verket är lögn. Men när de så har lust, kan de också tala sanning. Hesiodos förses med en stav och en lagergren. Hans bröst fylls av en ”gudomlig röst för att sjunga om svunnen tid och kommande”. I ett slag är herden redo att dikta. Muserna har gjort honom till poet.Episoden återges i den episka lärodikten ”Theogonin”, som Hesiodos komponerade omkring år 700 före Kristus, och som därmed är den äldsta bevarade källan till myten om muserna. Frågan är vad som hänt med dem sedan dess. När man talar om systrarna idag är det ju oftast i en rätt så annorlunda bemärkelse. För det första uppträder de i singularis, som musan. För det andra är denna musa mänsklig. Kanske var hon gift med en berömd manlig 1900-talskonstnär, i vars bilder eller dikter hon återfinns, och som hon gav upp sitt eget konstnärskap för att vårda. Att vara någons musa – nej, det är för de flesta ingen lockande roll. Som den amerikanska poeten Louise Glück skriver i en dikt: ”Ingen vill vara musan. När allt kommer omkring, vill alla vara Orfeus”.Hur blev det så här? När förvandlades musan från generativ kraft till stum sköterska? Kanske kan man närma sig ett svar genom den franske konsthistorikern Georges Didi-Huberman. I boken ”Ninfa moderna” diskuterar han en besläktad figur, nymfen, och hur hon har gestaltats genom århundradena. Didi-Huberman utgår från det bildmaterial som i början av 1900-talet samlades ihop av den tyska kulturhistorikern Aby Warburg. Denne ägnade sina sista år i livet åt ett ofullbordat jätteprojekt som han (med hänvisning till musernas moder) kallade för Bilderatlas Mnemosyne. Warburg var intresserad av hur former och motiv från antiken lever kvar i senare tiders europeisk bildkonst. Atlasen, som består av ett sextiotal stora planscher med fastnålade fotografier och konstreproduktioner, är hans försök att i collageform kartlägga släktbanden. Till exempel kan en renässansmålning placeras bredvid en romersk skulptur. Det som förbinder konstverken är en gemensam detalj: ett plagg som faller snarlikt över en skuldra, en hand som gör en identisk gest. Det är som om antiken hemsöker moderniteten.Didi-Hubermans undersökning, som sträcker sig från antiken till den florentinska renässansen, bygger alltså på Warburgs atlas. Och när han betraktar nymferna upptäcker han något märkvärdigt. Nymfen har fallit. Ju längre bort från antiken vi kommer, desto tydligare närmar hon sig marken. Hon sjunker från gudinnans höjder längst upp i bilden till dess nedre kant. Där förblir hon liggande. Samma öde drabbar hennes kläder. De tidiga, grekiska nymferna är draperade i långa, mantelliknande klädesplagg. Men med tiden blir nymfen mer och mer avklädd. Axlarna blottas, under renässansen brösten. Tizian porträtterar henne som i princip naken. I hans målning ”Nymf och herde” ligger hon med ryggen och baken vänd mot betraktaren, med ett ynka tygstycke kring midjan. I en annan, ”Backanal på Andros”, återfinns hon med bakåtböjt huvud i bildens högra hörn. Brösten och könet är blottade, liksom strupen. Draperingen ligger slängd som en eftertanke över armen. Nymfen är redo att intas.Didi-Hubermans och Warburgs nymfer är nu inte identiska med vare sig muserna eller nymfen som vi känner henne från den grekiska mytologin. Snarare syftar de på en arketyp i form av en gudinnelik kvinnogestalt – ung, vacker, lekfull, med svallande hår och suggestiv blick. Ungefär så brukar också muserna avbildas. Och man skulle kunna hävda att något liknande hänt med dem. Muserna har sjunkit från Helikon, ner till jorden, till köket och gatan. Kanske börjar fallet redan efter Hesiodos. Hos många senare antika författare är muserna några man åberopar, snarare än uppsöks av. Samtidigt betvivlas deras existens. Den romerska poeten Horatius ber i ett av sina oden musan Kalliope att stiga ner till honom från himlen, men säger sig vara osäker på om rösten han sedan hör verkligen är hennes, eller om han drabbats av ett ”ljuvligt vansinne”. Propertius, en annan romersk diktare, talar ofta om sin musa, som om en av dem stod redo just för honom. Så skulle Hesiodos knappast formulera sig. Muserna är inte hans – det är ju han som är deras!Långt efter antiken fortsätter muserna dyka upp i konsten. Dante åkallar dem i ”Den gudomliga komedin”, till exempel i Skärselden, då han ber dem om hjälp med att besjunga ting ”som knappt tanken fattar”. Men när man säger ordet ”musa” i samband med Dante tänker de flesta på Beatrice. Hon uppträder som en guide genom paradiset i den sista delen av ”Den gudomliga komedin”, och var med viss sannolikhet en sublimering av Dantes ungdomskärlek med samma namn. Inspirationen härrör alltså från en levande, högst verklig person – som, till skillnad från de antika muserna, knappast delat med sig av den medvetet. Samma gäller Laura i den något yngre Petrarcas sonetter. Ännu senare, hos Baudelaire, har musan blivit prostituerad. I dikten ”La muse vénale” – ungefär ”den köpbara musan” – förtjänar diktens du sitt uppehälle genom att gå på gatan.Mycket kan sägas om kvinnosynen i de nämnda dikterna. Men det är knappast så enkelt som att musans nya skepnad motsvarar en parallell omvandling av könsordningen. Snarare speglar den konstens förändrade betydelse, från kollektiv praktik till uttryck för individualitet. Det säger ju sig självt att den diktare som själv är gudomlig inte kan vara underställd en skara bråkiga systrar.Fast vore det verkligen så illa? Finns det inte något frigörande i att tänka på dikten så som Hesiodos: som något som kommer utifrån, ovanifrån, snarare än från den rädda lilla själ man bär inom sig? Litteraturen är ju trots allt inte ens egen. Den föds ur de texter som föregått den. Dess moder är minnets gudinna – och minnet är något gemensamt.Rebecka Kärde, litteraturkritiker och grecistLitteraturGeorges Didi-Huberman: Ninfa moderna – essä över fallen drapering.

Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary and to a new lesson. Today we're looking at the history of the muse. And it was so much fun to go through and find what information I could about them. The Muses are inspirational goddess of literature, science and art. The 9 muses are:Calliope was the Muse who represented epic poetry. Her implement was the writing tablet.Clio was the Muse who had to do with history and she was always associated with holding a scroll.Euterpe was the Muse of lyrical poetry and music, and is always shown with an aulos (flute).Thalia represented both comedy and pastoral poetry and she was associated with the comic mask.Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy and her item was the tragic mask.Terpsichore was the Muse of dance and she was always associated with the lyre.Erato was always associated with love poetry. She had a type of lyre called the cithara.Polyhymnia represented sacred poetry and she was always depicted with a veil.Urania was the Muse of astronomy and she had a globe and compass.Who is your favourite muse?Tell me what did you take away from this week's lesson?

In this episode we will look at a brief overview of the nine muses, the deities of inspiration in the Greek Mythology; Calliope, Clio, Euterpe, Erato, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia and Urania - and their roles as openings for the Illiad, the Odyssey, the Theogony - and countless other major works from the Ancient World (and also later in the Renaissance). Hesiod describes: "And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me -- the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis: `Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies, we know how to speak many false things as though they were true; but we know, when we will, to utter true things.'" Here pointing out how the inspiration came to him while he was "shepherding his lambs" under the mountain, and also pointing out how creativity might be wrong and false, but sometimes, when "the muses will", also telling the brilliant and true things. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Healing and pain; creating healing or pain through our music choices and environments. The guests are two singers from my studio. They came down the Den of Technology to talk about how singing can bring healing and perhaps happiness. James Booth, student at Seattle Central College, and Allison Wilner Martin, in her gap year after high school and working for a law firm. Singing, the most personal of all vocal expression, has always been tied to pain. Singing can help with healing or it can cause more pain. A singer cannot lie - a singer must believe what they are singing, at least for that moment, or we will know and realize they are a fraud. And our actions, as people building our lives around singing, have this same power - to make the most personal of all vocal expressions an instrument of pain or an instrument of healing. This is so commonly understood that I hardly think I need to give examples, but for the sake of context I’ll give a few. And I’ll try to make them not too personal, because I don’t want to cause pain here - I want to bring awareness to the power we hold as musicians. About that power, the ancient greeks totally understood. In Greek mythology, Nine Muses were the nine daughters of Zeus .The individual muses have had various names and incarnations over the centuries and their very name, Muse, is the source of our English word, Music. According to the website owlcation.com The Muses are minor goddesses of the Greek pantheon. They are the personification of literary arts, music, visual arts and science. We all have that spark of a Muse within us to aid in our creative endeavors. The muses all have different jobs in music. Here are a few of them: Polyhymnia is the protector of divine hymns. She created geometry and grammar. She wears a veil as she looks up to the Heavens. Melpomene is the protector of the Tragedies. She created rhetoric speech and the melodies of tragedy. She holds a theatrical tragedy mask. Euterpe is the protector of song and poetry of death, love, and war. She created several musical instruments and inspires beautiful music. She holds a flute with her other instruments surrounding her. Erato is the protector of lyrical and love poetry. She holds a lyre and love arrows with a bow. Clio is the protector of history and the guitar, the heroic arts. Clio holds a clarion in her right arm and a book in her left hand. Calliope is the superior Muse. She inspired Homer as he wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey. She accompanied kings and princes to help them impose justice and serenity. Calliope is the protector of poetic works, the rhetoric arts, music and writing. Calliope holds laurels in one hand and two Homeric poems in the other. Since then, since the muses, have leaders and academics understood the power? You be they have. Think of the tribal, bringing-together power of national anthems and battle songs. Think of the songs used for forced labor, like those covered in Negro Work Songs and Calls. By Botkin and Lomax-1943 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx_OOivYYo8. It makes my stomach turn. Songs have been used as weapons - Saul Williams in his NPR post Songs As Weapons, talks about Fela Kuti his music was his message as he defiantly proclaimed that "music is the weapon of the future." One of his songs was written in direct response to the loss of his mother, who died of complications after the Nigerian Army raided his compound. Fela Kuti marched his mother's coffin to the Head of State, placing it on his doorstep, while his band played this processional. The Star Spangled Banner The Essential Jimi Hendrix is well understood as a protest song meant to shoot a spear into the heart of the United States, for excellent reason. The country was a MESS. For this song, Hendrix guitar does the singing. Songs have been used to spurn a former lover. They have been used to wound someone who has wounded the singer. Singing has been used to point out a pain that has been caused with the intention of causing another pain. Have you heard Sound of Silence as interpreted by Disturbed? That is the very definition of pain. And in that vein, there are entire genres of popular music devoted to pain. Singing is very, very effective at causing pain. In a recent episodes of Every Sing, it has come to light that the world around singing is also a vehicle for pain. Among other powerful examples from people I have interviewed for this show, Sheila Houlahan, in episode 29, talked about two deep singing induced injuries. First was the evil competition brought out in her undergrad experience. People using music to justify their terrible intentions. Second was the pain caused by ignorance - an opera company who created disrespectful charactures of the Indian culture in their production - the equivalent to Sheila of black-face performances. Ya know, my heart is racing while I talk to you about this. This so deep, so personal, and so important. The idea that singing has been used to cause pain in people I love, like Sheila, makes me sick. But there is more pain being caused every day around singing. Just today I heard a young man in a singing contest who’s every song was full of anger and pain. His songs were from the musicals Jeckly and Hide, Assassins, Oliver! and Oklahoma. What pain is in this young man that he has to relish in evil for every song he sings! And what pain are we potentially causing when we pick venues for our events; does the venue hosting you welcome everyone in your group? People with physical handicaps, moral objections, or other cultural differences? Is your event being held in a place where your LGBTQ singers might be preached against? Do your singers feel safe, not from others wielding guns, but from the words that can do so much damage and haunt them in the night? What pain was caused, historically, when black singers had to use the back door to enter a venue where they were entertaining a white audience? What confusion is happening for your muslim or atheist singers when you book a church as your performance venue? And what pain is being caused to the singers who are forced to step foot on an alt-right campus for a singing celebration for the sake of their teachers. And what about the Grammy’s - run by the Recording Academy of which I am a member. They seem to have learned nothing from the MeToo movement, Recording Academy President Neil Portnow almost immediately made things worse after this year’s male dominated Grammys. He responded by urging women to "step up." In response to him, recording artist Pink posted on Twitter. "Women in music don't need to 'step up' – women have been stepping since the beginning of time," "Stepping up, and also stepping aside. Women owned music this year. They've been killing it. And every year before this." So where does this leave us - you and me. Look closely - hold yourself accountable to the highest standard. Be vigilant. Be unrelenting. Err on the side of love. In the words of Cara Transtrom, see and understand better so that you can do better. "We are all artists and music connects us as spiritual beings, transcending all this crap the world would use to divide us.” Patti Haak Barrow
Episode 10 will showcase one of Joris' invocations that sporadically appear within his sermons. His "Invocation to Polyhymnia" is both a poem and an act of devotion to the muse of meditation, pantomime, and eloquence.Transcription of Joris:"I sing the praise of Polyhymnia:Dame most dower, dame of word and dance,Who has the cheeks of cherubs and the armsOf nereids about the jagged rocks.Thou art the power that can o’erswell the mouthsOf poets. Thou art she whose pantomimeConvinces us that even silence speaks.Thou art my muse most favored. And, by your robes,Of alabaster white and honeyed thread,Do I commit my song. Your fatted mouthFrom which spill words exuberantly, is a fount—Nay, cataract, in a prehistoried landWhich floods the basin of a verdant wood.Lift not thy finger thus if it's to hush.Seal not thine orifice, unless it isTo stop yourself from growing more thine waist.Instead give us your guidance to escapeThis savagery to lands where dwell the menAnd women who speak lovely as thou art.Let's drink to lands like these. Let's drink and singTo beauty and things beautiful, for what's The point of beauty if we’ve no words to praise it."

Clio, Erato, Polyhymnia–among the nine muses of Greek mythology, there’s no muse for the essay. And that’s not only because the essay doesn’t appear, in name, until Montaigne publishes his first book of them in 1580. No, one gets the feeling that, even if Homer had composed essays about the wine-dark sea or rosy-fingered dawn, this literary genre, so often associated with five-paragraph structures and freshmen composition courses, still wouldn’t have a goddess representing it on Mount Parnassus. The essay, unlike the epic or the love poem, is just too pedestrian, too workaday and uninspired to find a place among the timeless arts. That doesn’t stop Ned Stuckey-French from championing of the essay. In fact, for Stuckey-French, the middling nature of the essay is one of its very virtues. In his study The American Essay in the American Century (University of Missouri Press, 2011), he gives us a vision of the essay as a genre that’s as plucky and adaptable as the American spirit itself, showing us how writers and readers reinvented it at the beginning of the twentieth century for a new nation, one teeming with Ford motorcars and weekly magazines and a growing middleclass, eager for writing that spoke to its fears and desires. Stuckey-French shows us how and why the essay, that creation of a Renaissance French aristocrat, becomes an American essay, a democratic genre, able to take the pulse of our bustling nation. And if this social history of the essay weren’t enough, Stuckey-French has also published, with his co-editor Carl Klaus, an anthology of Essayists on the Essay (University of Iowa Press, 2012), a collection of writing that begins with Montaigne and takes us right up to the present, where the essay is once again adapting to a new world, one of web browsers and blogs, smartphones and video. And yet the essay lives on, undaunted, ready to take up the challenges of our new century. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Vienna Hofburg - Imperial Apartments, Sisi Museum, Silver Collection
Elisabeth used this room primarily as a reception room. The marble statue in the corner by Antonio Canova represents the muse Polyhymnia and was sent to Vienna in 1816 as a gift of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia to Emperor Franz I. The table set with breakfast things serves as a reminder that the imperial couple occasionally breakfasted together here, a circumstance recorded in the contemporaneous drawing in front of you.www.hofburg-wien.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.
