Calliope

Calliope, muse of eloquence and heroic poetry. Also associated with science in general and with eloquence. Represented crowned with laurel wreaths, head resting on one hand, as if meditating. She may also have a scroll and a pen with her. They often accompanied Apollo, god of the arts. They inhabited Mount Helicon, but were often on Olympus to entertain the gods. Initially, the muses were created to celebrate the victory of the gods over the Titans, in the so-called Titanomachy. Considered deities of spring, over time their importance increased until they became goddesses – and responsible for human inspiration. The ancient Greeks believed that their work was inspired and helped directly by the Muse of the art in which they fit. For this reason, all epic poems, for example, typically begin with a request from the author to the muse Calliope, so that she inspires him.
