Ancient Greeks were believers in inspiration. Perhaps not all Ancient Greeks: Aristotle might have said, like Thomas Alva Edison, that genius is 99% perspiration. However, Greek mythology accounted for inspiration through the influence on humans of nine goddesses called muses. They were the children of Zeus and memory (Mnemosyne), which, since memory can be painstaking (and pain-provoking), might mean that the consensus was for inspiration as hard work. The nine muses have had varying destinies. Most are forgotten. Erato (the muse of love poetry) lives on as in "erotic". Terpsichore used to be remembered when dance was involved. Urania (astronomy) was re-launched with the observation of the planet Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. There used to be cinema in uptown New York called Thalia (the muse of comedy), actually the Thalia. There may be many other entertainment places so named. However, Euterpe (lyric poetry), Polyhymnia (oratory), and Melpomene (tragedy) are largely forgotten, which could be better than the fate that overtook Calliope (the muse of epic poetry): that of a horrendously sounding circus organ one could associate with the bland taste of cotton candy and the smell of elephant dung. Clio is also seldom remembered. In a way, though, as the muse of history, she has some claim on being the leader of the others, history or historiography always having the last word on everything.
