To Euterpe

I call to Euterpe who gives such delight, daughter of Zeus and wise Mnemosyne, goddess who plays upon the flute, O muse of sweet music, I call out to you. Yours is the singer and the song; yours is the rhythm and the tune; yours is melody, harmony, rhapsody. Friend of the songsmith and the player, O goddess, you hold in hand the power to soothe the spirit, to charge the soul. Euterpe, granter of joy to all, I pray to you, goddess, I honor your gifts.

Euterpe, Muse of Music 

Fourth of the Nine Muses

Euterpe’s love of music is the most pure of the sisters, she loves songs not for their meaning and lyrics but for the cadences and notes themselves. She is often found composing, or listening to young musicians as they play their work- creating symphonies of sound that she can get lost in.

“Muse of Music” weighs 400 pounds and presides over an amazing collection at the Midwest Museum of American Art in downtown Elkhart, Indiana. More on our recent trip to Elkhart in the next post.

In Greek mythology, Euterpe was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention.
