The sisters were also called Emathides, named after their paternal uncle Emathus.

Rhesus was the son of Strymon and Calliope or Euterpe. Often Muse-worship was associated with the hero-cults of poets: the tombs of Archilochus on Thasos and of Hesiod and Thamyris in Boeotia all played host to festivals in which poetic recitations accompanied sacrifices to the Muses. The Library of Alexandria and its circle of scholars formed around a mousaion (i.e., ' museum' or shrine of the Muses) close to the tomb of Alexander the Great. Many Enlightenment figures sought to re-establish a "Cult of the Muses" in the 18th century. A famous Masonic lodge in pre-Revolutionary Paris was called Les Neuf Soeurs ('The Nine Sisters', that is, the Nine Muses); Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Danton, and other influential Enlightenment figures attended it. As a side-effect of this movement the word museum (originally, 'cult place of the Muses') came to refer to a place for the public display of knowledge.Pausanias, Description of Greece with an English Translation by W.H.S.

The characters in Sirens & Muses wake up each day and choose chaos. . . . Angress’s strength is her ability to create an engrossing plot, allowing readers to watch as her messy characters navigate their way to the finish line.” — The New York Times Book Review a b Homero, s.

Perry, "The sirens in ancient literature and art", in The Nineteenth Century, reprinted in Choice Literature: a monthly magazine (New York) 2 (September–December 1883:163). The sirens were the children of Achelous and Melpomene or Terpsichore. Kleopheme was the daughter of Erato and Malos. Hyacinth was the son of Clio, according to an unpopular account.Preston, the third protagonist of sorts, is another somewhat wealthy kid who relies on his dad’s money to survive. He’s kind “meta-woke” and tries to call out the issues happening on campus, but, to be honest, he is a part of the issue. His art isn’t seen as legitimate at times because he does a lot of work just photoshopping things, and he runs a blog where he makes fun of art and the establishment and people surrounding it. This leads him to roast the fourth protagonist, a professor at the school who became famous off of an art piece he made of his childhood friend dying of AIDs. He’s known as a social movement artist, but he sees himself as having sold out in the name of having to make a living. The term " siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion. Later writers have implied that the sirens were cannibals, based on Circe's description of them "lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones." [54] As linguist Jane Ellen Harrison (1850–1928) notes of " The Ker as siren": "It is strange and beautiful that Homer should make the sirens appeal to the spirit, not to the flesh." [55] The siren song is a promise to Odysseus of mantic truths; with a false promise that he will live to tell them, they sing, a b Mustard, Wilfred P. (1908). "Mermaid—Siren".

This object is a sarcophagus, or coffin for a deceased person. Why would someone want to decorate their tomb this way?CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.6 Identify aspects of a text that reveal an author's point of view or purpose (e.g., loaded language, inclusion or avoidance of particular facts).* In Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae ( c. 1136), Brutus of Troy encounters sirens at the Pillars of Hercules on his way to Britain to fulfil a prophecy that he will establish an empire there. The sirens surround and nearly overturn his ships, until Brutus escapes to the Tyrrhenian Sea. [107] Renaissance [ edit ]
