This year we are honoring The Muses

The nine Muses are the daughters of the Zeus and of Mnemosyne, the Goddess of memory. The Muses preside over the arts and sciences, inspire all artists, especially poets, philosophers, and musicians. We want to celebrate them all and let each woman reach out to the familiar one, and maybe get to know a new one of interest.

Calliope - was the muse of epic poetry
Clio - was the muse of history
Euterpe - was the muse of lyric poetry
Melpomene - was the muse of tragedy
Terpsichore - was the muse of choral songs and the dance
Erato - was the muse of love poetry
Polyhymnia - was the muse of sacred poetry
Urania - was the muse of astronomy
Thalia - was the muse of comedy
