Gods/Goddesses Index

The Muses were nymphs, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne ("Memory"), born at Pieria, in Thrace, and nursed by Eupheme. Nymphs are nature spirits, protectors of springs, rivers and mountains, who are usually depicted as young girls. The Muses were nymphs of inspiring springs. The names and number of the Muses varied until the Greeks settled on the 9 Muses, who became known as goddesses of the arts and sciences. They are thought od as living on Mt. Olympus.

Urania was the Muse of astronomy and astrology. Her attributes are a globe, held in her left hand, and a peg, held in her right.
